NAME

       Xvnc - a VNC server

SYNOPSIS

       Xvnc   [-rfbport  port]	[-rfbwait  time]  [-nocursor] [-rfbauth passwd-file] [-httpd dir] [-httpport port] [-deferupdate time] [-economic-
	      translate] [-lazytight] [-desktop name] [-alwaysshared] [-nevershared] [-dontdisconnect] [-localhost] [-interface  ipaddr]  [-inetd]
	      [-compatiblekbd] [X-options...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xvnc  is  a  VNC  (Virtual  Network  Computing) server.	It acts like an X server with a virtual display.  The display can be seen by a VNC
       viewer application, which may be running on a different machine: see vncviewer(1).

       It is built inside the source code tree of XFree86, and shares many options with it.

       Note that if you are going to use VNC  on  an  untrusted  network,  you	will  need  to	use  SSH  to  prevent  unauthorised  access.   See
       <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html> for details.

       -nocursor

       -httpport port
	      Port for HTTP.

       -deferupdate time
	      Time, in milliseconds, to defer updates (default 40).

       -economictranslate
	      Use less memory-hungry translation.

       -lazytight
	      Disable "gradient" filter in tight encoding.

       -desktop name

       -interface ipaddr
	      Only bind to the interface with given ipaddr.

       -inetd Xvnc is launched by inetd.
