x0vncserver: Start a VNC server using a passwordfile.

x0vncserver

$ x0vncserver -display ${:0} -passwordfile ${filename}

try on your machine

This command is used to start a virtual network computing (VNC) server with the specified options.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

x0vncserver: This is the executable command to start the VNC server.

Options:

-display ${:0}: This option sets the display to be used by the VNC server. ${:0} is a variable that refers to the default display on the machine, typically represented as :0. The colon (:) indicates the X11 server display number, and 0 represents the first physical display on the machine.
-passwordfile ${filename}: This option specifies the path to a file that contains the VNC server's password. ${filename} is a variable that needs to be replaced with the actual path and name of the password file. The password file stores the password required to connect to the VNC server, and it helps to secure the server by preventing unauthorized access.

By using this command, you can start a VNC server on the machine's default display (:0) and set a password for authentication using a separate password file.
