Nice little wrapper script!

line 2-4 - revert() function, which sets all DPMS (Display Power Management System) functions to OFF
line 5 - if the program is interrupted (e.g., by kill, or by the terminal it is running in dying (HUP (Hang Up)) call the revert() function
line 6 - turns on DPMS to suspend, standby, and power to all trigger at 5 minutes
line 7 - runs the i3lock screen locker
line 8 - when i3lock has exited (e.g., someone entered the password) run revert to disable DPMS (so the screen never turns off or standby or suspends while you are working)
