XFREE(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             XFREE(1)



NAME
     xfree - clear a locked xscreensaver from a remote machine


SYNOPSIS
     xfree [-p port] machinename

DESCRIPTION
     _x_f_r_e_e is a user interface that unlocks an _x_s_c_r_e_e_n_s_a_v_e_r(_1)
     from a remote machine.  When the screensaver is locked, it
     listens to a network port for a password, so that it can be
     unlocked in case the xscreensaver freezes.  _x_f_r_e_e is an
     interface that allows a user to contact the xscreensaver
     without having the password appear on the screen.  It
     prompts for a password, sends it over to the xscreensaver,
     and indicates whether or not the screen was unlocked suc-
     cessfully.


     The -p option allows you to specify a port other than the
     SIPB default port (port 32253).


BUGS
     _X_f_r_e_e may sometimes fail even though the password is typed
     in correctly.  The workaround is to try again.
