💅 tvncconfig(1) — the TurboVNC glow-up config tool

okay so real talk, this is the tvncconfig man page from TurboVNC, and it's basically the little remote control for your VNC server 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tvncconfig — configure and control a VNC server. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tvncconfig [options] [-set] Xvnc-param=value ...
tvncconfig [options] -list
tvncconfig [options] -get Xvnc-param
tvncconfig [options] -desc Xvnc-param

four whole ways to run it, pick your fighter 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

tvncconfig can be used to set and retrieve Xvnc parameters. so like, it's giving "settings app but make it a command line" and honestly? obsessed ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie — the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display option must be set as appropriate to control Xvnc. no cap. if you run tvncconfig on an ordinary X server, you will get an error message saying that there is no VNC extension 😭 like it will literally just not work. sad but true 🙈

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • [-set] Xvnc-param=value — set an Xvnc parameter to the given value. that's the whole thing, param=value, slay 💅 (and yes the -set part is optional, it's just there if you want it)
  • -list — list all of the parameters supported by Xvnc. the full menu, the whole buffet 👑
  • -get Xvnc-param — print the current value of the given Xvnc parameter. "so what's it set to rn" energy 🫶
  • -desc Xvnc-param — print a short description of the given Xvnc parameter. the lore, the backstory 📖
  • -display VNC-display — specify the Xvnc server to control. this is how you tell it which one you're talking to 💖
  • -verbose — print descriptions with -get and -list. not me wanting extra detail about everything 😭✨
