.TH X11VNC "1" "August 2004" "x11vnc " "User Commands"
.SH NAME
x11vnc - allow VNC connections to real X11 displays
         version: 0.6.3pre, lastmod: 2004-08-15
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B x11vnc
[OPTION]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Typical usage is:
.IP
Run this command in a shell on the remote machine "far-host"
with X session you wish to view:
.IP
x11vnc -display :0
.IP
Then run this in another window on the machine you are sitting at:
.IP
vncviewer far-host:0
.PP
Once x11vnc establishes connections with the X11 server and starts
listening as a VNC server it will print out a string: PORT=XXXX where
XXXX is typically 5900 (the default VNC port).  One would next run something
like this on the local machine: "vncviewer host:N" where N is XXXX - 5900,
i.e. usually "vncviewer host:0"
.PP
By default x11vnc will not allow the screen to be shared and it will
exit as soon as a client disconnects.  See \fB-shared\fR and \fB-forever\fR below
to override these protections.
.PP
For additional info see: http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/
and  http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq
.PP
Rudimentary config file support: if the file $HOME/.x11vncrc exists then each
line in it is treated as a single command line option.  Disable with \fB-norc.\fR
For each option name, the leading character "-" is not required.  E.g. a
line that is either "nap" or "-nap" may be used and are equivalent.
Likewise "wait 100" or "-wait 100" are acceptable and equivalent lines.
The "#" character comments out to the end of the line in the usual way.
Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed off.  Lines may be continued with
a "\\" as the last character of a line (it becomes a space character).
.PP
.SH OPTIONS

.PP
\fB-display\fR \fIdisp\fR
.IP
X11 server display to connect to, usually :0.  The X
server process must be running on same machine and
support MIT-SHM.  Equivalent to setting the DISPLAY
environment variable to \fIdisp\fR.
.PP
\fB-auth\fR \fIfile\fR
.IP
Set the X authority file to be \fIfile\fR, equivalent to
setting the XAUTHORITY environment varirable to \fIfile\fR
before startup.  See 
.IR Xsecurity (7)
, 
.IR xauth (1)
man pages.
.PP
\fB-id\fR \fIwindowid\fR
.IP
Show the window corresponding to \fIwindowid\fR not the
entire display. Warning: bugs! new toplevels missed!...
.PP
\fB-sid\fR \fIwindowid\fR
.IP
As \fB-id,\fR but instead of using the window directly it
shifts a root view to it: shows saveUnders menus, etc,
although they will be clipped if they extend beyond
the window.
.PP
\fB-flashcmap\fR
.IP
In 8bpp indexed color, let the installed colormap flash
as the pointer moves from window to window (slow).
.PP
\fB-notruecolor\fR
.IP
For 8bpp displays, force indexed color (i.e. a colormap)
even if it looks like 8bpp TrueColor. (rare problem)
.PP
\fB-overlay\fR
.IP
Handle multiple depth visuals on one screen, e.g. 8+24
and 24+8 overlay visuals (the 32 bits per pixel are
packed with 8 for PseudoColor and 24 for TrueColor).
.IP
Currently \fB-overlay\fR only works on Solaris (it uses
XReadScreen(3X11)).  There are still some problems with
surrounding-region painting for popup menus (but not
for the popup menu itself); a workaround is to disable
SaveUnders (pass \fB-su\fR to Xsun).  Amusingly, if \fB-overlay\fR
is used with \fB-mouse,\fR the mouse cursor shape is correct.
.IP
Use \fB-overlay\fR as a workaround for situations like these:
Some legacy applications require the default visual
be 8bpp (8+24), or they will use 8bpp PseudoColor even
when the default visual is depth 24 TrueColor (24+8).
In these cases colors in some windows will be messed
up in x11vnc unless \fB-overlay\fR is used.
.IP
Under \fB-overlay,\fR performance will be somewhat degraded
due to the extra image transformations required.
For optimal performance do not use \fB-overlay,\fR but rather
configure the X server so that the default visual is
depth 24 TrueColor and have all apps use that visual.
.PP
\fB-visual\fR \fIn\fR
.IP
Experimental option: probably does not do what you
think.  It simply *forces* the visual used for the
framebuffer; this may be a bad thing... It is useful for
testing and for some workarounds.  n may be a decimal
number, or 0x hex.  Run 
.IR xdpyinfo (1)
for the values.
One may also use "TrueColor", etc. see <X11/X.h>
for a list.  If the string ends in ":m" for better
or for worse the visual depth is forced to be m.
.PP
\fB-scale\fR \fIfraction\fR
.IP
Scale the framebuffer by factor \fIfraction\fR.  Values
less than 1 shrink the fb.  Note: image may not be sharp
and response may be slower.  If \fIfraction\fR contains
a decimal point "." it is taken as a floating point
number, alternatively the notation "m/n" may be used
to denote fractions exactly, e.g. \fB-scale\fR 2/3.
.IP
Scaling Options: can be added after \fIfraction\fR via
":", to supply multiple ":" options use commas.
If you just want a quick, rough scaling without
blending, append ":nb" to \fIfraction\fR (e.g. \fB-scale\fR
1/3:nb).  For compatibility with vncviewers the scaled
width is adjusted to be a multiple of 4, to disable
this use ":n4".  More esoteric options: ":in" use
interpolation scheme even when shrinking, ":pad",
pad scaled width and height to be multiples of scaling
denominator (e.g. 3 for 2/3).
.PP
\fB-viewonly\fR
.IP
All VNC clients can only watch (default off).
.PP
\fB-shared\fR
.IP
VNC display is shared (default off).
.PP
\fB-once\fR
.IP
Exit after the first successfully connected viewer
disconnects, opposite of \fB-forever.\fR This is the Default.
.PP
\fB-forever\fR
.IP
Keep listening for more connections rather than exiting
as soon as the first client(s) disconnect. Same as \fB-many\fR
.PP
\fB-connect\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
For use with "vncviewer -listen" reverse connections.
If \fIstring\fR has the form "host" or "host:port"
the connection is made once at startup.  Use commas
for a list of host's and host:port's.  If \fIstring\fR
contains "/" it is instead interpreted as a file to
periodically check for new hosts.  The first line is
read and then the file is truncated.
.PP
\fB-vncconnect\fR
.IP
Monitor the VNC_CONNECT X property set by the standard
VNC program 
.IR vncconnect (1)
.  When the property is set
to host or host:port establish a reverse connection.
Using 
.IR xprop (1)
instead of vncconnect may work, see FAQ.
.PP
\fB-inetd\fR
.IP
Launched by 
.IR inetd (1)
: stdio instead of listening socket.
Note: if you are not redirecting stderr to a log file
(via shell 2> or \fB-o\fR option) you must also specify the
\fB-q\fR option.
.PP
\fB-allow\fR \fIaddr1[,addr2..]\fR
.IP
Only allow client connections from IP addresses matching
the comma separated list of numerical addresses.
Can be a prefix, e.g. "192.168.100." to match a
simple subnet, for more control build libvncserver
with libwrap support.  If the list contains a "/"
it instead is a interpreted as a file containing
addresses or prefixes that is re-read each time a new
client connects.  Lines can be commented out with the
"#" character in the usual way.
.PP
\fB-localhost\fR
.IP
Same as \fB-allow\fR 127.0.0.1
.PP
\fB-viewpasswd\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Supply a 2nd password for view-only logins.  The \fB-passwd\fR
(full-access) password must also be supplied.
.PP
\fB-passwdfile\fR \fIfilename\fR
.IP
Specify libvncserver \fB-passwd\fR via the first line of
the file \fIfilename\fR instead of via command line.
If a second non blank line exists in the file it is
taken as a view-only password (i.e. \fB-viewpasswd)\fR Note:
this is a simple plaintext passwd, see also \fB-rfbauth\fR
and \fB-storepasswd\fR below.
.PP
\fB-storepasswd\fR \fIpass\fR \fIfile\fR
.IP
Store password \fIpass\fR as the VNC password in the
file \fIfile\fR.  Once the password is stored the
program exits.  Use the password via "-rfbauth file"
.PP
\fB-accept\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Run a command (possibly to prompt the user at the
X11 display) to decide whether an incoming client
should be allowed to connect or not.  \fIstring\fR is
an external command run via 
.IR system (3)
or some special
cases described below.  Be sure to quote \fIstring\fR
if it contains spaces, etc.  If the external command
returns 0 the client is accepted, otherwise the client
is rejected.  See below for an extension to accept a
client view-only.
.IP
Environment: The RFB_CLIENT_IP environment variable will
be set to the incoming client IP number and the port
in RFB_CLIENT_PORT (or -1 if unavailable).  Similarly,
RFB_SERVER_IP and RFB_SERVER_PORT (the x11vnc side
of the connection), are set to allow identification
of the tcp virtual circuit.  The x11vnc process
id will be in RFB_X11VNC_PID, a client id number in
RFB_CLIENT_ID, and the number of other connected clients
in RFB_CLIENT_COUNT.
.IP
If \fIstring\fR is "popup" then a builtin popup window
is used.  The popup will time out after 120 seconds,
use "popup:N" to modify the timeout to N seconds
(use 0 for no timeout)
.IP
If \fIstring\fR is "xmessage" then an 
.IR xmessage (1)
invocation is used for the command.
.IP
Both "popup" and "xmessage" will present an option
for accepting the client "View-Only" (the client
can only watch).  This option will not be presented if
\fB-viewonly\fR has been specified, in which case the entire
display is view only.
.IP
If the user supplied command is prefixed with something
like "yes:0,no:*,view:3 mycommand ..." then this
associates the numerical command return code with
the actions: accept, reject, and accept-view-only,
respectively.  Use "*" instead of a number to indicate
the default action (in case the command returns an
unexpected value).  E.g. "no:*" is a good choice.
.IP
Note that x11vnc blocks while the external command or
or popup is running (other clients may see no updates
during this period).
.IP
More \fB-accept\fR tricks: use "popupmouse" to only allow
mouse clicks in the builtin popup to be recognized.
Similarly use "popupkey" to only recognize keystroke
responses.  All 3 of the popup keywords can be followed
by +N+M to supply a position for the popup window.
The default is to center the popup window.
.PP
\fB-gone\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
As \fB-accept,\fR except to run a user supplied command when
a client goes away (disconnects).  Unlike \fB-accept,\fR
the command return code is not interpreted by x11vnc.
.PP
\fB-noshm\fR
.IP
Do not use the MIT-SHM extension for the polling.
Remote displays can be polled this way: be careful this
can use large amounts of network bandwidth.  This is
also of use if the local machine has a limited number
of shm segments and \fB-onetile\fR is not sufficient.
.PP
\fB-flipbyteorder\fR
.IP
Sometimes needed if remotely polled host has different
endianness.  Ignored unless \fB-noshm\fR is set.
.PP
\fB-onetile\fR
.IP
Do not use the new copy_tiles() framebuffer mechanism,
just use 1 shm tile for polling.  Same as \fB-old_copytile.\fR
Limits shm segments used to 3.
.PP
\fB-blackout\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Black out rectangles on the screen. \fIstring\fR is a
comma separated list of WxH+X+Y type geometries for
each rectangle.
.PP
\fB-xinerama\fR
.IP
If your screen is composed of multiple monitors
glued together via XINERAMA, and that screen is
non-rectangular this option will try to guess the areas
to black out (if your system has libXinerama).
.PP
\fB-o\fR \fIlogfile\fR
.IP
Write stderr messages to file \fIlogfile\fR instead of
to the terminal.  Same as \fB-logfile\fR "file".
.PP
\fB-rc\fR \fIfilename\fR
.IP
Use \fIfilename\fR instead of $HOME/.x11vncrc for rc file.
.PP
\fB-norc\fR
.IP
Do not process any .x11vncrc file for options.
.PP
\fB-h,\fR \fB-help\fR
.IP
Print this help text.
.PP
\fB-V,\fR \fB-version\fR
.IP
Print program version (last modification date).
.PP
\fB-q\fR
.IP
Be quiet by printing less informational output to
stderr.  Same as \fB-quiet.\fR
.PP
\fB-bg\fR
.IP
Go into the background after screen setup.  Messages to
stderr are lost unless \fB-o\fR logfile is used.  Something
like this could be useful in a script:
.IP
port=`ssh $host "x11vnc -display :0 -bg" | grep PORT`
.IP
port=`echo "$port" | sed -e 's/PORT=//'`
.IP
port=`expr $port - 5900`
.IP
vncviewer $host:$port
.PP
\fB-modtweak,\fR \fB-nomodtweak\fR
.IP
Option \fB-modtweak\fR automatically tries to adjust the AltGr
and Shift modifiers for differing language keyboards
between client and host.  Otherwise, only a single key
press/release of a Keycode is simulated (i.e. ignoring
the state of the modifiers: this usually works for
identical keyboards).  Also useful in resolving cases
where a Keysym is bound to multiple keys (e.g. "<" + ">"
and "," + "<" keys).  Default: \fB-modtweak\fR
.PP
\fB-xkb\fR
.IP
When in modtweak mode, use the XKEYBOARD extension
(if it exists) to do the modifier tweaking.
.PP
\fB-skip_keycodes\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Skip keycodes not on your keyboard but your X server
thinks exist.  Currently only applies to \fB-xkb\fR mode.
\fIstring\fR is a comma separated list of decimal
keycodes.  Use this option to help x11vnc in the reverse
problem it tries to solve: Keysym -> Keycode(s) when
ambiguities exist.  E.g. \fB-skip_keycodes\fR 94,114
.PP
\fB-add_keysyms\fR
.IP
If a Keysym is received from a VNC viewer and
that Keysym does not exist in the X server, then
add the Keysym to the X server's keyboard mapping.
Added Keysyms will be removed when exiting.
.PP
\fB-clear_mods\fR
.IP
At startup and exit clear the modifier keys by sending
KeyRelease for each one. The Lock modifiers are skipped.
Used to clear the state if the display was accidentally
left with any pressed down.
.PP
\fB-clear_keys\fR
.IP
As \fB-clear_mods,\fR except try to release any pressed key.
Note that this option and \fB-clear_mods\fR can interfere
with a person typing at the physical keyboard.
.PP
\fB-remap\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Read Keysym remappings from file named \fIstring\fR.
Format is one pair of Keysyms per line (can be name
or hex value) separated by a space.  If no file named
\fIstring\fR exists, it is instead interpreted as this
form: key1-key2,key3-key4,...  See <X11/keysymdef.h>
header file for a list of Keysym names, or use
.IR xev (1)
. To map a key to a button click, use the
fake Keysyms "Button1", ..., etc.
E.g. \fB-remap\fR Super_R-Button2
.PP
\fB-norepeat,\fR \fB-repeat\fR
.IP
Option \fB-norepeat\fR disables X server key auto repeat
when VNC clients are connected.  This works around a
repeating keystrokes bug (triggered by long processing
delays between key down and key up client events:
either from large screen changes or high latency).
Note: your VNC viewer side will likely do autorepeating,
so this is no loss unless someone is simultaneously at
the real X display.  Default: \fB-repeat\fR
.PP
\fB-nofb\fR
.IP
Ignore video framebuffer: only process keyboard and
pointer.  Intended for use with Win2VNC and x2vnc
dual-monitor setups.
.PP
\fB-nobell\fR
.IP
Do not watch for XBell events. (no beeps will be heard)
Note: XBell monitoring requires the XKEYBOARD extension.
.PP
\fB-nosel\fR
.IP
Do not manage exchange of X selection/cutbuffer between
VNC viewers and the X server.
.PP
\fB-noprimary\fR
.IP
Do not poll the PRIMARY selection for changes to send
back to clients.  (PRIMARY is still set on received
changes, however).
.PP
\fB-nocursor\fR
.IP
Do not have the VNC viewer show a local cursor.
.PP
\fB-mouse\fR
.IP
Draw a 2nd cursor at the current X pointer position.
.PP
\fB-mouseX\fR
.IP
As \fB-mouse,\fR but also draw an "X" when pointer is on
root background.
.PP
\fB-X\fR
.IP
Shorthand for \fB-mouseX\fR \fB-nocursor.\fR
.PP
\fB-xwarppointer\fR
.IP
Move the pointer with XWarpPointer() instead of XTEST
(try as a workaround if pointer behaves poorly, e.g.
on touchscreens or other non-standard setups).
.PP
\fB-cursorpos,\fR \fB-nocursorpos\fR
.IP
Option \fB-cursorpos\fR enables sending the X cursor position
back to all vnc clients that support the TightVNC
CursorPosUpdates extension.  Default: \fB-cursorpos\fR
.PP
\fB-buttonmap\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
String to remap mouse buttons.  Format: IJK-LMN, this
maps buttons I -> L, etc., e.g.  \fB-buttonmap\fR 13-31
.IP
Button presses can also be mapped to keystrokes: replace
a button digit on the right of the dash with :<sym>:
or :<sym1>+<sym2>: etc. for multiple keys. For example,
if the viewing machine has a mouse-wheel (buttons 4 5)
but the x11vnc side does not, these will do scrolls:
.IP
\fB-buttonmap\fR 12345-123:Prior::Next:
.IP
\fB-buttonmap\fR 12345-123:Up+Up+Up::Down+Down+Down:
.IP
See <X11/keysymdef.h> header file for a list of Keysyms,
or use the 
.IR xev (1)
program.  Note: mapping of button
clicks to Keysyms may not work if \fB-modtweak\fR or \fB-xkb\fR is
needed for the Keysym.
.IP
If you include a modifier like "Shift_L" the
modifier's up/down state is toggled, e.g. to send
"The" use :Shift_L+t+Shift_L+h+e: (the 1st one is
shift down and the 2nd one is shift up). (note: the
initial state of the modifier is ignored and not reset)
To include button events use "Button1", ... etc.
.PP
\fB-nodragging\fR
.IP
Do not update the display during mouse dragging events
(mouse motion with a button held down).  Greatly
improves response on slow setups, but you lose all
visual feedback for drags, text selection, and some
menu traversals.
.PP
\fB-old_pointer\fR
.IP
Do not use the new pointer input handling mechanisms.
See check_input() and pointer() in source file for
details.
.PP
\fB-input_skip\fR \fIn\fR
.IP
For the old pointer handling when non-threaded: try to
read n user input events before scanning display. n < 0
means to act as though there is always user input.
.PP
\fB-debug_pointer\fR
.IP
Print debugging output for every pointer event.
.PP
\fB-debug_keyboard\fR
.IP
Print debugging output for every keyboard event.
.PP
Same as \fB-dp\fR and \fB-dk,\fR respectively.  Use multiple
times for more output.
.PP
\fB-defer\fR \fItime\fR
.IP
Time in ms to wait for updates before sending to client
[rfbDeferUpdateTime]  Default: 30
.PP
\fB-wait\fR \fItime\fR
.IP
Time in ms to pause between screen polls.  Used to cut
down on load.  Default: 30
.PP
\fB-nap\fR
.IP
Monitor activity and if low take longer naps between
polls to really cut down load when idle.  Default: off
.PP
\fB-sigpipe\fR \fIstring\fR
.IP
Broken pipe (SIGPIPE) handling.  \fIstring\fR can be
"ignore" or "exit".  For "ignore" libvncserver
will handle the abrupt loss of a client and continue,
for "exit" x11vnc will cleanup and exit at the 1st
broken connection.  Default: "ignore".
.PP
\fB-threads,\fR \fB-nothreads\fR
.IP
Whether or not to use the threaded libvncserver
algorithm [rfbRunEventLoop] if libpthread is available
Default: \fB-nothreads\fR
.PP
\fB-fs\fR \fIf\fR
.IP
If the fraction of changed tiles in a poll is greater
than f, the whole screen is updated.  Default: 0.75
.PP
\fB-gaps\fR \fIn\fR
.IP
Heuristic to fill in gaps in rows or cols of n or
less tiles.  Used to improve text paging.  Default: 4
.PP
\fB-grow\fR \fIn\fR
.IP
Heuristic to grow islands of changed tiles n or wider
by checking the tile near the boundary.  Default: 3
.PP
\fB-fuzz\fR \fIn\fR
