DESCRIPTION
       xdg-screensaver provides commands to control the screensaver.

       xdg-screensaver is for use inside a desktop session only. It is not
       recommended to use xdg-screensaver as root.

COMMANDS
       suspend WindowID
              Suspends the screensaver and monitor power management.  WindowID
              must be the X Window ID of an existing window of the calling
              application. The window must remain in existance for the
              duration of the suspension.

              WindowID can be represented as either a decimal number or as a
              hexadecimal number consisting of the prefix 0x followed by one
              or more hexadecimal digits.

              The screensaver can be suspended in relation to multiple windows
              at the same time. In that case screensaver operation is only
              restored once the screensaver has been resumed in relation to
              each of the windows

       resume WindowID

              suspended.  WindowID must be the same X Window ID that was
              passed to a previous call of xdg-screensaver suspend

       activate

              screen getting locked, depending on existing system policies.
