And use it like this. Again, usage is very simple:

use lock::{FailureReason, lock};

fn main() {
    let result = lock();

    match result {
        Err(FailureReason::CannotExecute) => {
            // Failed to execute command, do something.
        },
        Err(FailureReason::LinuxCommandNotFound) => {
            // There is no xdg-screensaver, gnome-screensaver or dm-tool for linux,
            // do something else.
        }
        Ok(()) => (),
    }
}
