+.SH NAME
+i3lock \- slightly improved version of slock
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+i3lock takes no arguments
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B i3lock
+locks your screen by making it white. To quit
+.B i3lock
+just enter your password.
+
+.SH DIFFERENCES TO SLOCK
+
+.B i3lock
+improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with
+commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning of
+your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen,
+.B i3lock
+displays a white screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume
+from suspend or if your screen is just locked. Also, when entering a wrong
+password,
+.B i3lock
+does not call XBell(). This is important because
+.B i3lock/slock
+think you've entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.
+
+.B i3lock
+was forked from slock-0.9
