vncviewer [options] [.tigervnc file] DESCRIPTION vncviewer is a viewer (client) for Virtual Network Computing. This manual page documents version 4 for the X window system. If you run the viewer with no arguments it will prompt you for a VNC server to connect to. Alternatively, specify the VNC server as an argument, e.g.: vncviewer snoopy:2.
x0vncserver is a TigerVNC Server which makes any X display remotely accessible via VNC, TigerVNC or compatible viewers. Unlike Xvnc (1), it does not create a virtual display. Instead, it just shares an existing X server (typically, that one connected to the physical screen).
Its default behavior is to prompt for a VNC password and then store an obfuscated version of this password to passwd-file (or to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tigervnc/passwd if no passwordfile is specified.)
PARAMETERS VNC parameters can be set both via the command-line and through the vncconfig(1) program, and with a VNC-enabled Xorg server via Options entries in the xorg.conf file. Parameters can be turned on with -param or off with -param=0.Parameters which take a value can be specified as -param value.Other valid forms are param=value-param=value--param=value.Parameter names are case-insensitive.
VNC was originally developed by the RealVNC team while at Olivetti Research Ltd / AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. TightVNC additions were implemented by Constantin Kaplinsky. Many other people have since participated in development, testing and support. This manual is part of the TigerVNC software suite.
WARNING! There is nothing stopping users from constructing their own vncsession-like script that calls Xvnc directly to bypass any options defined in /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-mandatory. The overall configuration file load order is: /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults, $HOME/.vnc/config, and then this file. None are required to exist.
