^U is a fairly common key combo for clearing fields, this patch adds
support for it.
bump version to 1.62025-08-09T12:34:37ZHiltjo Posthumahiltjo@codemadness.org2025-08-09T12:34:37Zurn:sha1:e3fb34364ed2c53b21edde07ac17560a601783a9simplify post-lock cmd and die if it fails2025-03-09T09:02:34ZNRKnrk@disroot.org2022-09-09T08:50:12Zurn:sha1:a70d5d2429abf8dcb70a8817990975dc9a621d27
this patch does two things:
0. simplify the code by using posix_spawn()
1. unify the behavior of what happens if the post-lock cmd fails.
currently, if `fork()` fails, slock will die without locking the screen.
HOWEVER if `execvp()` fails it prints a message to stderr (which the
user cannot see since the screen has been locked already) and only exits
the child while the parent locks the screen.
to reproduce:
# slock some_bin_that_doesnt_exist
this behavior is inconsistent, if the idea is that post-lock cmd is
_not_ important then we shouldn't `die()` on `fork()` failure either.
and if we assume that the post-lock cmd _is_ important, then we should
die on exec failure as well.
this patch assumes the latter and calls `die()` if `posix_spawn()`
fails.

* Fix all lint warnings.
* Remove "Op Ar arg..." in the description. It looks ugly.
* No need to set -offset left for .Bd literal.
