/* Note that the RFB_INITIALISATION_SHARED state is provided to support
clients that under some circumstances do not send a ClientInit message.
In particular the Mac OS X built-in VNC client (with protocolMinorVersion
== 889) is one of those. However, it only requires this support under
special circumstances that can only be determined during the initial
authentication. If the right conditions are met this state will be
set (see the auth.c file) when rfbProcessClientInitMessage is called.
If the state is RFB_INITIALISATION_SHARED we should not expect to recieve
any ClientInit message, but instead should proceed to the next stage
of initialisation as though an implicit ClientInit message was received
with a shared-flag of true. (There is currently no corresponding
RFB_INITIALISATION_NOTSHARED state to represent an implicit ClientInit
message with a shared-flag of false because no known existing client
requires such support at this time.)
Note that software using LibVNCServer to provide a VNC server will only
ever have a chance to see the state field set to
RFB_INITIALISATION_SHARED if the software is multi-threaded and manages
to examine the state field during the extremely brief window after the
'None' authentication type selection has been received from the built-in
OS X VNC client and before the rfbProcessClientInitMessage function is
called -- control cannot return to the caller during this brief window

@page libvncserver_doc LibVNCServer Documentation
@section create_server Creating a server instance
To make a server, you just have to initialise a server structure using the
function rfbGetScreen(), like
@code
rfbScreenInfoPtr screen =
rfbGetScreen(argc,argv,screenwidth,screenheight,8,3,bpp);
@endcode
where byte per pixel should be 1, 2 or 4. If performance doesn't matter,
you may try bpp=3 (internally one cannot use native data types in this
case; if you want to use this, look at pnmshow24.c).
You then can set hooks and io functions (see @ref making_it_interactive) or other
options (see @ref server_options).
And you allocate the frame buffer like this:
@code
screen->frameBuffer = (char*)malloc(screenwidth*screenheight*bpp);
@endcode
After that, you initialize the server, like
@code
rfbInitServer(screen);
@endcode
You can use a blocking event loop, a background (pthread based) event loop,
or implement your own using the rfbProcessEvents() function.
@subsection server_options Optional Server Features
These options have to be set between rfbGetScreen() and rfbInitServer().
If you already have a socket to talk to, just set rfbScreenInfo::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 rfbScreenInfo::httpDir to a directory containing vncviewer.jar and
index.vnc (like the included "webclients" directory).
@section making_it_interactive Making it interactive
Whenever you draw something, you have to call
@code
rfbMarkRectAsModified(screen,x1,y1,x2,y2).
@endcode
This tells LibVNCServer to send updates to all connected clients.
There exist the following IO functions as members of rfbScreen:
rfbScreenInfo::kbdAddEvent(), rfbScreenInfo::kbdReleaseAllKeys(), rfbScreenInfo::ptrAddEvent() and rfbScreenInfo::setXCutText()
rfbScreenInfo::kbdAddEvent()
is called when a key is pressed.
rfbScreenInfo::kbdReleaseAllKeys()
is not called at all (maybe in the future).
rfbScreenInfo::ptrAddEvent()
is called when the mouse moves or a button is pressed.
WARNING: if you want to have proper cursor handling, call
rfbDefaultPtrAddEvent()
in your own function. This sets the coordinates of the cursor.
rfbScreenInfo::setXCutText()
is called when the selection changes.
There are only two hooks:
rfbScreenInfo::newClientHook()
is called when a new client has connected.
rfbScreenInfo::displayHook()
is called just before a frame buffer update is sent.
You can also override the following methods:
rfbScreenInfo::getCursorPtr()
This could be used to make an animated cursor (if you really want ...)
rfbScreenInfo::setTranslateFunction()
If you insist on colour maps or something more obscure, you have to
implement this. Default is a trueColour mapping.
@section cursor_handling Cursor handling
The screen holds a pointer
rfbScreenInfo::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 rfbCursor::mask
describes, which pixels are drawn for the cursor (a cursor needn't be
rectangular). The rfbCursor::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,backGreen,backBlue and the same for foreground
in a range from 0-0xffff). Therefore, the arrays "mask" and "source"
contain pixels as single bits stored in bytes in MSB order. The rows are
padded, such that each row begins with a new byte (i.e. a 10x4
cursor's mask has 2x4 bytes, because 2 bytes are needed to hold 10 bits).
It is however very easy to make a cursor like this:
@code
char* cur=" "
" xx "
" x "
" ";
char* mask="xxxx"
"xxxx"
"xxxx"
"xxx ";
rfbCursorPtr c=rfbMakeXCursor(4,4,cur,mask);
@endcode
You can even set rfbCursor::mask to NULL in this call and LibVNCServer will calculate
a mask for you (dynamically, so you have to free it yourself).
There is also an array named rfbCursor::richSource for colourful cursors. They have
the same format as the frameBuffer (i.e. if the server is 32 bit,
a 10x4 cursor has 4x10x4 bytes).
@section screen_client_difference 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.
The rfbClientRec structure holds a member rfbClientRec::screen which points to the server.
So, to access the server from the client structure, you use client->screen.
To access all clients from a server be sure to use the provided iterator
rfbGetClientIterator()
with
rfbClientIteratorNext()
and
rfbReleaseClientIterator()
to prevent thread clashes.
@section example_code Example Code
There are two documented examples included:
- example.c, a shared scribble sheet
- pnmshow.c, a program to show PNMs (pictures) over the net.
The examples are not too well documented, but easy straight forward and a
good starting point.
Try example.c: it outputs on which port it listens (default: 5900), so it is
display 0. To view, call @code vncviewer :0 @endcode
You should see a sheet with a gradient and "Hello World!" written on it. Try
to paint something. Note that everytime you click, there is some bigger blot,
whereas when you drag the mouse while clicked you draw a line. The size of the
blot depends on the mouse button you click. Open a second vncviewer with
the same parameters and watch it as you paint in the other window. This also
works over internet. You just have to know either the name or the IP of your
machine. Then it is @code vncviewer machine.where.example.runs.com:0 @endcode
or similar for the remote client. Now you are ready to type something. Be sure
that your mouse sits still, because everytime the mouse moves, the cursor is
reset to the position of the pointer! If you are done with that demo, press
the down or up arrows. If your viewer supports it, then the dimensions of the
sheet change. Just press Escape in the viewer. Note that the server still
runs, even if you closed both windows. When you reconnect now, everything you
painted and wrote is still there. You can press "Page Up" for a blank page.
The demo pnmshow.c is much simpler: you either provide a filename as argument
or pipe a file through stdin. Note that the file has to be a raw pnm/ppm file,
i.e. a truecolour graphics. Only the Escape key is implemented. This may be
the best starting point if you want to learn how to use LibVNCServer. You
are confronted with the fact that the bytes per pixel can only be 8, 16 or 32.
