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.

OPTIONS

       The VNC-specific options are as follows:

       -rfbport port
	      TCP port for RFB protocol.

       -rfbwait time
	      Maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for RFB client.

       -nocursor
	      Don't put up a cursor.

       -rfbauth passwd-file
	      Use authentication on RFB protocol from specified file; see vncpasswd(1).

       -httpd dir
	      Serve files via HTTP from here.

       -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
	      Set VNC desktop name (default x11).

       -alwaysshared
	      Always treat new clients as shared.

       -nevershared
	      Never treat new clients as shared.

       -dontdisconnect
	      Don't disconnect existing clients when a new non-shared connection comes in (refuse new connection instead).

       -localhost
	      Only allow connections from localhost.

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

       -inetd Xvnc is launched by inetd.

       -compatiblekbd
	      Set META key = ALT key, as in the original (AT&T) version of Xvnc.

NAME

       vncserver - a wrapper to launch an X server for VNC.

SYNOPSIS

       vncserver  [:display]  [-geometry widthxheight] [-depth depth] [-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN] [-name desktop-name] [ -httpport int ] [ -base-
       httpport int ] [ -alwaysshared ] [ -nevershared ] [Xvnc-options...]

       vncserver [ -clean ] -kill :display

       vncserver -help

DESCRIPTION

       vncserver is a wrapper script for Xvnc, the free X server for VNC (Virtual Network Computing). It provides all capabilities of a standard X
       server, but does not connect to a display for itself.  Instead, Xvnc creates a virtual desktop you can view or control remotely using a VNC
       viewer.

OPTIONS

       You can add Xvnc options at the command line. They will be added to the invocation of Xvnc without changes. The	options  provided  by  the
       vncserver itself are as follows:

       :display
	      The display number to use. If omitted, the next free display number is used.

       -geometry widthxheight
	      Set desktop width and height.

       -depth depth
	      Set the colour depth of the visual to provide, in bits per pixel. Must be a value between 8 and 32.

       -pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN
	      Set  colour  format  for	pixels representation. The viewer can do the conversion to any other pixel format, but it is faster if the
	      depth and pixel format of the server is the same as the equivalent values on the viewer display.

       -name string
	      This specifies the name of the desktop.

       -clean This option can be used in conjunction with

       -kill :display
	      Stops the session running on the specified display.

       -nevershared
	      Never allow shared desktops.

       -alwaysshared
	      Always allow shared desktops.

       -basehttpport int
	      The base http port to use for the java client applet (you have to install the tightvnc-java package to make  this  work).  The  real
	      port number will be port = base + display num.

       -httpport int
	      The http port to use for the java client applet (you have to install the tightvnc-java package to make this work).

       -help  Prints a short usage notice to stderr.

EXAMPLES

       vncserver
	      Invokes Xvnc on the next available display and with suitable defaults.

       vncserver :1
	      Invokes Xvnc on display :1.

       vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 :1
	      Invokes Xvnc on display :1 with desktop size of 800x600 pixels and color depth of 16 bits per pixel.

       vncserver -kill :1
	      Shuts down Xvnc server on display :1.
