NAME

       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).
