To make a server, you just have to initialise a server structure using the
function rfbDefaultScreenInit, like
rfbScreenInfoPtr rfbScreen =
- rfbDefaultScreenInit(argc,argv,maxx,maxy,8,3,bpp);
+ rfbGetScreen(argc,argv,maxx,maxy,8,3,bpp);
-You then can set hooks and io functions (see below).
+You then can set hooks and io functions (see below) or other
+options (see below).
+
+After that, you initialize the server, like
+ rfbInitServer(rfbScreen);
You can use a blocking event loop, a background (pthread based) event loop,
-or implement your own using the processEvents function.
+or implement your own using the rfbProcessEvents function.
+
+Making it interactive
+---------------------
+
+Input is handled by IO functions (see below).
+
+Whenever you change something in the frame buffer, call rfbMarkRectAsModified.
+You should make sure that the cursor is not drawn before drawing yourself
+by calling rfbUndrawCursor. You can also draw the cursor using rfbDrawCursor,
+but it hardly seems necessary. For cursor details, see below.
+
+Utility functions
+-----------------
+
+Whenever you draw something, you have to call
+ rfbMarkRectAsModified(screen,x1,y1,x2,y2).
+This tells LibVNCServer to send updates to all connected clients.
+
+Before you draw something, be sure to call
+ rfbUndrawCursor(cl).
+This tells LibVNCServer to hide the cursor.
+Remark: There are vncviewers out there, which know a cursor encoding, so
+that network traffic is low, and also the cursor doesn't need to be
+drawn the cursor everytime an update is sent. LibVNCServer handles
+all the details. Just set the cursor and don't bother any more.
+
+What is the difference between rfbScreenInfoPtr and rfbClientPtr?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The rfbScreenInfoPtr is a pointer to a rfbScreenInfo structure, which
+holds information about the server, like pixel format, io functions,
+frame buffer etc.
+
+The rfbClientPtr is a pointer to an rfbClientRec structure, which holds
+information about a client, like pixel format, socket of the
+connection, etc.
+
+A server can have several clients, but needn't have any. So, if you
+have a server and three clients are connected, you have one instance
+of a rfbScreenInfo and three instances of rfbClientRec's.
-Also, there is functionality included to draw a cursor (see below).
+The rfbClientRec structure holds a member
+ rfbScreenInfoPtr screen
+which points to the server and a member
+ rfbClientPtr next
+to the next client.
-To start also an HTTP server (running on port 5800+display_number), you have
+The rfbScreenInfo structure holds a member
+ rfbClientPtr rfbClientHead
+which points to the first client.
+
+So, to access the server from the client structure, you use client->screen.
+To access all clients from a server, get screen->rfbClientHead and
+iterate using client->next.
+
+If you change client settings, be sure to use the provided iterator
+ rfbGetClientIterator(rfbScreen)
+with
+ rfbClientIteratorNext(iterator)
+and
+ rfbReleaseClientIterator
+to prevent thread clashes.
+
+Other options
+-------------
+
+These options have to be set between rfbGetScreen and rfbInitServer.
+
+If you already have a socket to talk to, just set rfbScreen->inetdSock
+(originally this is for inetd handling, but why not use it for your purpose?).
+
+To also start an HTTP server (running on port 5800+display_number), you have
to set rfbScreen->httpdDir to a directory containing vncviewer.jar and
index.vnc (like the included "classes" directory).
Hooks and IO functions
----------------------
-TODO
+There exist the following IO functions as members of rfbScreen:
+kbdAddEvent, kbdReleaseAllKeys, ptrAddEvent and setXCutText
+
+kbdAddEvent(Bool down,KeySym key,rfbClientPtr cl)
+ is called when a key is pressed.
+kbdReleaseAllKeys(rfbClientPtr cl)
+ is not called at all (maybe in the future).
+ptrAddEvent(int buttonMask,int x,int y,rfbClientPtr cl)
+ is called when the mouse moves or a button is pressed.
+setXCutText(char* str,int len,rfbClientPtr cl)
+ is called when the selection changes.
+
+There is only one hook:
+newClientHook(rfbClientPtr cl)
+ is called when a new client has connected.
+
+You can also override the following method:
+getCursorPtr(rfbClientPtr cl)
+ This could be used to make an animated cursor (if you really want ...)
Cursor handling
---------------
+The screen holds a pointer
+ rfbCursorPtr cursor
+to the current cursor. Whenever you set it, remember that any dynamically
+created cursor (like return value from rfbMakeXCursor) is not free'd!
+
The rfbCursor structure consists mainly of a mask and a source. The mask
describes, which pixels are drawn for the cursor (a cursor needn't be
rectangular). The source describes, which colour those pixels should have.
The standard is an XCursor: a cursor with a foreground and a background
-colour (stored in backRed and similar with a range from 0-0xffff). The
-arrays "mask" and "source" consist of byte padded rows in MSB order (i.e. a
-10x4 cursor's mask has 2x4 bytes, because 2 bytes are needed to hold 10 bits).
