x0vncserver: Start a VNC server using a specific port.

x0vncserver

$ x0vncserver -display ${:0} -rfbport ${port}

try on your machine

This command is used to run a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server on a specific display with a specified port number.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

x0vncserver: This is the main command to start the VNC server.
-display ${:0}: This option specifies the X display to share via VNC. The value :0 refers to the default local display on the machine. The variable ${:0} is used to dynamically represent the current display and its value will be substituted at runtime.
-rfbport ${port}: This option specifies the port number on which the VNC server will listen for incoming connections. The variable ${port} is used to dynamically represent the desired port number and its value will be substituted at runtime.

By running this command, a VNC server will be started on the specified display (default local display) and will listen for incoming connections on the specified port number. This allows remote clients to connect to the server and view/control the desktop on that display using a VNC client.
