DESCRIPTION
        Xvnc is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server.  It acts
        like an X server with a virtual display.  The display  can
        be  seen by a VNC viewer application, which may be running
        on a different machine: see vncviewer(1).
 
        It is built inside the source code tree  of  XFree86,  and
        shares many options with it.
 
        Note that if you are going to use VNC on an untrusted net­
        work, you will need to use  SSH  to  prevent  unauthorised
        access.                                                See
        <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html>   for
        details.
 
OPTIONS
        The VNC-specific options are as follows:
 
        -rfbport port
               TCP port for RFB protocol.
 
        -rfbwait time
               Maximum  time,  in  milliseconds,  to  wait for RFB
               client.
 
        -nocursor
               Don't put up a cursor.
 
        -rfbauth passwd-file
               Use authentication on RFB protocol  from  specified
               file; see vncpasswd(1).
 
        -httpd dir
               Serve files via HTTP from here.
 
        -httpport port
               Port for HTTP.
 
        -deferupdate time
               Time,  in  milliseconds,  to defer updates (default
               40).
 
        -economictranslate
               Use less memory-hungry translation.
 
        -lazytight
               Disable "gradient" filter in tight encoding.
 
        -desktop name
               Set VNC desktop name (default x11).
 
        -alwaysshared
               Always treat new clients as shared.
 
        -nevershared
               Never treat new clients as shared.
 
        -dontdisconnect
               Don't disconnect existing clients when a  new  non-
               shared  connection  comes in (refuse new connection
               instead).
 
        -localhost
               Only allow connections from localhost.
 
        -interface ipaddr
               Only bind to the interface with given ipaddr.
