By default tlock prompts the user for a password and then locks the terminal until the same password is supplied again. When invoked with -s flag, tlock locks the terminal with the user's login password. This package will also provide the library packages librpass0 and librpass0-dev, with long description: Static library installed with tlock, it provides a function readpass() that reads in a password string from standard input of process and returns it back, AS IS, to the calling application. While fetching password from standard input, readpass first turns off the echo of input characters and the generation of signals through keystrokes, reads in the password, turns the character echo and signal generation back on, and returns to the calling application a character pointer pointing at the password string. -- |_)|_/ Ryan Kavanagh | Gnupg key | \| \ http://blog.ryanak.ca/ | E95EDDC9
