+Control physical access to a linux computer by locking all of its
+virtual terminals / consoles.
+
+physlock is an alternative to vlock, it is equivalent to `vlock -an'.
+It is written because vlock blocks some linux kernel mechanisms like
+hibernate and suspend and can therefore only be used with some
+limitations. physlock is designed to be more lightweight, it does not
+have a plugin interface and it is not started using a shell script
+wrapper.
