NAME

       linuxvnc - export a tty to any VNC client

SYNOPSIS

       linuxvnc [ tty_number [ vnc args ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       You need root privileges, or at least be in the "tty" group, because it
       reads /dev/vcsN and writes /dev/ttyN.

       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.

SEE ALSO

       x11vnc(1).
