5.B x0vncserver
Constantin Kaplinskya9ec0e82008-01-07 13:57:01 +00006.RI [ options ]
Constantin Kaplinskyb30ae7f2006-05-25 05:04:46 +00007.SH DESCRIPTION
8.B x0vncserver
Constantin Kaplinskya9ec0e82008-01-07 13:57:01 +00009is a TightVNC Server which makes any X display remotely accessible via VNC,
10TightVNC or compatible viewers. Unlike Xvnc, it does not create a virtual
11display. Instead, it just shares an existing X server (typically, that one
12connected to the physical screen).
13.SH OPTIONS
14.B x0vncserver
15interprets the command line as a list of parameters with optional values.
16Running \fBx0vncserver -h\fP will show a list of all valid parameters with
17short descriptions. All parameters are optional, but normally you would have
18to use the \fBPasswordFile\fP parameter.
19.PP
20There are several forms of specifying parameters in the command line (here we
21use `\fISomeParameter\fP' as an example parameter name):
22.TP
23.B -\fISomeParameter\fP
24Enable the parameter, turn the feature on. This form can be used with
25parameters that simply enable or disable some feature.
26.TP
27.B -\fISomeParameter\fP=0
28Disable the parameter, turn the feature off.
29.TP
30.B -\fISomeParameter\fP=\fIvalue\fP
31Assign the specified \fIvalue\fP to the parameter. The leading dash can be
32omitted, or it can be doubled if desired (like in GNU-style long
33options). The equality sign is optional so it can be replaced by spaces.
34.PP
35Parameter names are case-insensitive, their order in the command line can be
36arbitrary.
