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

-rfbwait time

-httpd dir

-httpport port

-deferupdate time

-economictranslate
Use less memory-hungry translation.
-lazytight
Disable "gradient" filter in tight encoding.
-desktop name

-alwaysshared
Always treat new clients as shared.
-nevershared
Never treat new clients as shared.
