lcdvc - LCDproc virtual console SYNOPSIS
lcdvc [-fh] [-a addr] [-c file] [-p port] [-r level] [-s bool] DESCRIPTION
This program shows content from a system console on a LCD controlled by LCDd. As the console is usually larger than a LCD, the area shown on the LCD screen can be scrolled using keys attached to the display. Additionally it has an autoscroll feature, which is on by default and can only be disabled by using lcdvc's menu. By default it uses /dev/vcs and /dev/vcsa devices as the console to show. Other console devices can be set in the configuration file /etc/lcdvc.conf. The keys used for scrolling can be set in the config file as well. OPTIONS
The following options can be set in the configuration file /etc/lcdvc.conf as well, but those given on the command line take precedence: -a addr DNS name or IP address of the LCDd server (default localhost). -c file Specify configuration file. -f Run in foreground. -h Output help and exit. -p port Port of the LCDd server (default 13666). -r level Set reporting level (0-5, default: 2) -s bool Report to syslog (1) or stderr (0, default).

lcdproc-config - format of LCDproc's configuration files SYNTAX
The syntax for LCDproc's configuration files is INI-file style. They are 8-bit text files divided into sections, each containing zero or more key-value pairs. Sections are introduced by section labels which start with '[' and end with ']', and key-value pairs consist of a key name, a '=' sign and a value each. Key names are sequences of non-space characters, not starting with '[' and not containing '=' or ' ', while values are shell like strings. I.e. they are either simple sequences of non-space characters, or double quoted-strings with C-style syntax (except the missing support for 'NNN' and 'xNN' escape sequences) or or a mix of both of these forms. Section labels and key names are case-insensitive and may occur more than once. Keys of duplicate sections will be merged into one sec- tion, while the values of duplicate keys in a section will be appended to form an array of values for this key. (In the program, all val- ues of a key can be retrieved individually) Spaces around section labels, keys, and values are ignored. Lines starting with ';' or '#' are considered comments and ignored too. While all of the above is quite common to almost all INI-file implementations, there are a few special features that make LCDproc's config files special: * Section labels may contain any character except ']', ' ' or '
