 +
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +Lock this display.  Call a screenlock program (''/local/bin/lck'' or
 +''/usr/bin/lock'' or a builtin if no other is available).  ''screen'' does
 +not accept any command keys until this program terminates.  Meanwhile,
 +processes in the windows may continue, as the windows are in the
 +"detached" state.  The screenlock program may be changed through the
 +[[man:Environment|environment variable]] $LOCKPRG (which must be set in
 +the shell from which screen is started) and is executed with the user's
 +uid and gid.
 +
 +Warning:  When you leave other shells unlocked and you have no password
 +set on ''screen'', the lock is effectively void: one could easily
 +re-attach from an unlocked shell.  This feature should rather be called
 +"lockterminal".
