💖 JTIGHTVNCVIEWER 💖

okay bestie, so this is the jtightvncviewer manual page, from the Java TightVNC collection — it lives in section 1, aka the user commands section. it's giving "tiny wrapper script with main character energy" and we're gonna walk through it together. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

jtightvncviewer — the command line starter of the Java TightVNC viewer. that's it, that's the whole job. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jtightvncviewer host | host:display | host::port

so literally you just hand it a host, or a host with a display, or a host with a port. pick your fighter. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl, jtightvncviewer is not the one doing the heavy lifting — it's a wrapper script that fires up the Java TightVNC Viewer, and that is what does the real work. our little script is the hype friend backstage. 🫶

and here's the cute part: depending on how your update-alternatives configuration is set up, you can also invoke this same script as vncviewer or as xvncviewer. same girl, different name tag. ✨

now for the actual connecting rules, bestie, listen up:

  • call it with just a host name and it tries to connect to that host's display 0 / port 5900. the default. the classic. 💖
  • want a different display or port? append its number to the host name, separated by:
    • a single colon for a display, or
    • two consecutive colons for a port.
and no blanks in between, okay?? not even one. the colon(s) go straight onto the host name and the number goes straight after. no spaces, no vibes, no exceptions. 🚫

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

  1. ```text jtightvncviewer somehost.org
connect to **display 0** (= **port 5900**) of host `somehost.org`. the default slay. 👑

2. ```text
jtightvncviewer somehost.org:1

connect to display 1 (= port 5901) of host somehost.org. one colon, one display, iconic. ✨

  1. ```text jtightvncviewer somehost.org::5902
connect to **port 5902** (= **display 2**) of host `somehost.org`. two colons, one port, chef's kiss. 💅
