Description
Alot of the screen lock guides on suspend relate to systemd and the guide on the void wiki is wrong. Fortunately someone has written a guide and wrote some scripts to launch slock, i3-lock, etc. when you close the screen. See: https://github.com/bahamas10/zzz-user-hooks
docs: https://www.daveeddy.com/2018/10/01/run-user-scripts-on-suspend-and-wakeup-on-void-linux/
These locking programs are launched using the normal user and work perfectly. I was wondering if I could write a guide for screenlocking on suspend on void using these scripts. Thanks!

Add a Void documentation guide for launching screen-locking programs on suspend, with the referenced user scripts and usage details, then verify that the instructions are consistent with the cited sources.
