vncviewer: Launch a VNC client with a specific screen geometry.

vncviewer

$ vncviewer --geometry ${width}x${height} ${host}:${display_number}

try on your machine

The command vncviewer is used to connect to a remote desktop session using the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocol.

The --geometry option is used to specify the size (width and height) of the session window. The ${width} and ${height} are placeholders that will be replaced with the actual values when the command is executed. For example, if you want the session window to be 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high, you can replace ${width} with 800 and ${height} with 600.

${host} is another placeholder that will be replaced with the hostname or IP address of the remote machine you want to connect to.

${display_number} is also a placeholder that will be replaced with the display number of the remote session you want to connect to. This number represents a specific instance of a graphical environment on the remote machine. For example, if the remote machine has multiple users logged in, each user's session will have a unique display number.

In summary, this command is used to connect to a remote VNC session with a specific window size and display number.
