NAME

   tigervncconfig - configure and control a VNC server

SYNOPSIS

   tigervncconfig [parameters]
   tigervncconfig [parameters] -connect host[:port]
   tigervncconfig [parameters] -disconnect
   tigervncconfig [parameters] [-set] Xtigervnc-param=value ...
   tigervncconfig [parameters] -list
   tigervncconfig [parameters] -get Xvnc-param
   tigervncconfig [parameters] -desc Xvnc-param

DESCRIPTION

   tigervncconfig  is  used to configure and control a running instance of
   Xtigervnc, or any other X server with the VNC extension.  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
   Xtigervnc.  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 vncconfig 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 -nowin flag can be used if
   you always want clipboard support but don't wish to clutter the desktop
   with this window - alternatively the -iconic option can be used to make
   it iconified by default.

   When run in any other mode, vncconfig is a  one-shot  program  used  to
   configure  or control Xtigervnc as appropriate.  It can be used to tell
   Xtigervnc to connect or disconnect from listening viewers, and  to  set
   and retrieve Xtigervnc's parameters.

   Note  that the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display option must
   be set as appropriate to control  Xtigervnc.   If  you  run  it  on  an
   ordinary  X  server (or on a version 3 Xtigervnc) you will get an error
   message saying that there is no VNC extension.

OPTIONS

   -connect host[:port]
          Tells an Xtigervnc 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). host is the host
          where  the listening viewer is running. If it's not listening on
          the default port of 5500, you can specify host:port instead.

   -disconnect
          This causes Xtigervnc to disconnect from all viewers so that the
          VNC desktop is not displayed anywhere.

   [-set] Xvnc-param=value
          Sets  an Xtigervnc parameter to the given value.  Note that some
          of Xtigervnc's parameters are read only once at startup so  that
          changing them in this way may not have any effect.

   -list  Lists all the parameters supported by Xtigervnc.

   -get Xvnc-param
          Prints the current value of the given Xtigervnc parameter.

   -desc Xvnc-param
          Prints a short description of the given Xtigervnc parameter.

PARAMETERS

   tigervncconfig  also  has parameters of its own which can be set on the
   command line.  These should not be confused with Xtigervnc's parameters
   which are manipulated with the -set, -get, -list and -desc options.

   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.

   -display Xdisplay
          Specifies the Xtigervnc server to control.

   -nowin When run as a "helper" app, don't put up a window.

   -iconic
          When run as  a  "helper"  app,  make  the  window  iconified  at
          startup.
