NAME

       linuxvnc - export a tty to any VNC client

SYNOPSIS

       linuxvnc [tty_number [args]]

DESCRIPTION

       It  follows  the  same idea as WinVNC, x11vnc or OSXvnc, i.e. it takes an existing desktop and exports it via RFB (VNC), just that LinuxVNC
       exports text.

       If you want to export another tty, specify it as 'tty_number'.  You can also pass VNC options to tune what encodings are used for  the  VNC
       session. You can read x11vnc man page for more information on this.
