| | 1062 | |
| | 1063 | -o logfile Write stderr messages to file "logfile" instead of to |
| | 1064 | the terminal. Same as "-logfile file". To append |
| | 1065 | to the file use "-oa file" or "-logappend file". |
| | 1066 | If "logfile" contains the string "%VNCDISPLAY" |
| | 1067 | it is expanded to the vnc display (the name may need |
| | 1068 | to be guessed at.) "%HOME" works too. |
| | 1069 | |
| | 1070 | -flag file Write the "PORT=NNNN" (e.g. PORT=5900) string to |
| | 1071 | "file" in addition to stdout. This option could be |
| | 1072 | useful by wrapper script to detect when x11vnc is ready. |
| | 1073 | |
| | 1074 | -rmflag file Remove "file" at exit to signal when x11vnc is done. |
| | 1075 | The file is created at startup if it does not already |
| | 1076 | exist or if "file" is prefixed with "create:". |
| | 1077 | If the file is created, the x11vnc PID is placed in |
| | 1078 | the file. Otherwise the files contents is not changed. |
| | 1079 | Use prefix "nocreate:" to prevent creation. |
| | 1080 | |
| | 1081 | -rc filename Use "filename" instead of $HOME/.x11vncrc for rc file. |
| | 1082 | -norc Do not process any .x11vncrc file for options. |
| | 1083 | |
| | 1084 | -env VAR=VALUE Set the environment variable 'VAR' to value 'VALUE' |
| | 1085 | at x11vnc startup. This is a convenience utility to |
| | 1086 | avoid shell script wrappers, etc. to set the env. var. |
| | 1087 | You may specify as many of these as needed on the |
| | 1088 | command line. |
| | 1089 | -prog /path/to/x11vnc Set the full path to the x11vnc program for cases when |
| | 1090 | it cannot be determined from argv[0] (e.g. tcpd/inetd) |
| | 1091 | |
| | 1092 | -h, -help Print this help text. |
| | 1093 | -?, -opts Only list the x11vnc options. |
| | 1094 | -V, -version Print program version and last modification date. |
| | 1095 | -license Print out license information. Same as -copying and |
| | 1096 | -warranty. |
| | 1097 | |
| | 1098 | -dbg Instead of exiting after cleaning up, run a simple |
| | 1099 | "debug crash shell" when fatal errors are trapped. |
| | 1100 | |
| | 1101 | -q, -quiet Be quiet by printing less informational output to |
| | 1102 | stderr. (use -noquiet to undo an earlier -quiet.) |
| | 1103 | |
| | 1104 | The -quiet option does not eliminate all informational |
| | 1105 | output, it only reduces it. It is ignored in most |
| | 1106 | auxiliary usage modes, e.g. -storepasswd. To eliminate |
| | 1107 | all output use: 2>/dev/null 1>&2, etc. |
| | 1108 | |
| | 1109 | -v, -verbose Print out more information to stderr. |
| | 1110 | |
| | 1111 | -bg Go into the background after screen setup. Messages to |
| | 1112 | stderr are lost unless -o logfile is used. Something |
| | 1113 | like this could be useful in a script: |
| | 1114 | port=`ssh -t $host "x11vnc -display :0 -bg" | grep PORT` |
| | 1115 | port=`echo "$port" | sed -e 's/PORT=//'` |
| | 1116 | port=`expr $port - 5900` |
| | 1117 | vncviewer $host:$port |
