-Add @var{package}, a package for a screen locker or screen saver whose
-command is @var{program}, to the set of setuid programs and add a PAM entry
-for it. For example:
+@defvar screen-locker-service-type
+Type for a service that adds a package for a screen locker or screen
+saver to the set of setuid programs and add a PAM entry for it. The
+value for this service is a @code{<screen-locker-configuration>} object.

+For example, to make XlockMore usable:
@lisp
-(screen-locker-service xlockmore "xlock")
+(service screen-locker-service-type
+ (screen-locker-configuration
+ "xlock" (file-append xlockmore "/bin/xlock") #f))
@end lisp
