Note that it cannot be used to control VNC +servers prior to version 4. + +When run with no options, it runs as a kind of "helper" application for Xvnc. +Its main purpose when run in this mode is to support clipboard transfer to and +from the VNC viewer(s). Note that without a running instance of +\fBvncconfig\fP there will be no clipboard support. It puts up a window with +some checkboxes which can be used to disable clipboard transfers if required +(in the future there may be more functions available from this window). The +\fB-nowin\fP flag can be used if you always want clipboard support but don't +wish to clutter the desktop with this window - alternatively the \fB-iconic\fP +option can be used to make it iconified by default. + +When run in any other mode, \fBvncconfig\fP is a one-shot program used to +configure or control Xvnc as appropriate. It can be used to tell Xvnc to +connect or disconnect from listening viewers, and to set and retrieve Xvnc's +parameters. + +Note that the DISPLAY environment variable or the \fB\-display\fP option +must be set as appropriate to control Xvnc. If you run it on an ordinary X +server (or on a version 3 Xvnc) you will get an error message saying that there +is no VNC extension. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-connect \fIhost\fP[:\fIport\fP] +Tells an Xvnc server to make a "reverse" connection to a listening VNC viewer +(normally connections are made the other way round - the viewer connects to the +server). \fIhost\fP is the host where the listening viewer is running. If it's +not listening on the default port of 5500, you can specify \fIhost:port\fP +instead. + +.TP +.B \-disconnect +This causes Xvnc to disconnect from all viewers so that the VNC desktop is not +displayed anywhere. + +.TP +[\fB-set\fP] \fIXvnc-param\fP=\fIvalue\fP +Sets an Xvnc parameter to the given value. Note that some of Xvnc's parameters +are read only once at startup so that changing them in this way may not have +any effect. + +.TP +.B \-list +Lists all the parameters supported by Xvnc. + +.TP +.B \-get \fIXvnc-param\fP +Prints the current value of the given Xvnc parameter. + +.TP +.B \-desc \fIXvnc-param\fP +Prints a short description of the given Xvnc parameter. + +.SH PARAMETERS +.B vncconfig +also has parameters of its own which can be set on the command line. These +should not be confused with Xvnc's parameters which are manipulated with the +\fB-set\fP, \fB-get\fP, \fB-list\fP and \fB-desc\fP options. + +Parameters can be turned on with -\fIparam\fP or off with -\fIparam\fP=0. +Parameters which take a value can be specified as -\fIparam\fP \fIvalue\fP. +Other valid forms are \fIparam\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP -\fIparam\fP=\fIvalue\fP +--\fIparam\fP=\fIvalue\fP. Parameter names are case-insensitive. + +.TP +.B \-display \fIXdisplay\fP +Specifies the Xvnc server to control. + +.TP +.B \-nowin +When run as a "helper" app, don't put up a window. + +.TP +.B \-iconic +When run as a "helper" app, make the window iconified at startup. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR vncpasswd (1), +.BR vncviewer (1), +.BR vncserver (1), +.BR Xvnc (1) +.br +http://www.tightvnc.com + +.SH AUTHOR +Tristan Richardson, RealVNC Ltd. + +VNC was originally developed by the RealVNC team while at Olivetti +Research Ltd / AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.
