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.
