NAME

       lcdvc - LCDproc virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       lcdvc [-fh] [-a addr] [-c file] [-p port] [-r level] [-s bool]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  shows content from a system console on a LCD controlled by LCDd. As the console is usually
       larger than a LCD, the area shown on the LCD screen can be scrolled using keys attached to the display.

       Additionally it has an autoscroll feature, which is on by default and  can  only  be  disabled  by  using
       lcdvc's menu.

       By  default  it  uses /dev/vcs and /dev/vcsa devices as the console to show. Other console devices can be
       set in the configuration file /etc/lcdvc.conf. The keys used for scrolling can be set in the config  file
       as well.

OPTIONS

       The  following  options  can be set in the configuration file /etc/lcdvc.conf as well, but those given on
       the command line take precedence:

       -a addr
              DNS name or IP address of the LCDd server (default localhost).

       -c file
              Specify configuration file.

       -f     Run in foreground.

       -h     Output help and exit.

       -p port
              Port of the LCDd server (default 13666).

       -r level
              Set reporting level (0-5, default: 2)

       -s bool
              Report to syslog (1) or stderr (0, default).
