NAME

       linuxvnc - export a tty to any VNC client

SYNOPSIS

       linuxvnc [tty_number [args]]

DESCRIPTION

       It  follows  the  same idea as WinVNC, x11vnc or OSXvnc, i.e. it takes an existing desktop and exports it
       via RFB (VNC), just that LinuxVNC exports text.

       If you want to export another tty, specify it as 'tty_number'.  You can also pass  VNC  options  to  tune
       what encodings are used for the VNC session. You can read x11vnc man page for more information on this.
