In particular the Mac OS X built-in VNC client (with protocolMinorVersion

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 receive
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

Replace TightVNC encoder with TurboVNC encoder. This patch is the result of further research and discussion that revealed the following: -- TightPng encoding and the rfbTightNoZlib extension need not conflict. Since TightPng is a separate encoding type, not supported by TurboVNC-compatible viewers, then the rfbTightNoZlib extension can be used solely whenever the encoding type is Tight and disabled with the encoding type is TightPng. -- In the TightVNC encoder, compression levels above 5 are basically useless. On the set of 20 low-level datasets that were used to design the TurboVNC encoder (these include the eight 2D application captures that were also used when designing the TightVNC encoder, as well as 12 3D application captures provided by the VirtualGL Project-- see http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf), moving from Compression Level (CL) 5 to CL 9 in the TightVNC encoder did not increase the compression ratio of any datasets more than 10%, and the compression ratio only increased by more than 5% on four of them. The compression ratio actually decreased a few percent on five of them. In exchange for this paltry increase in compression ratio, the CPU usage, on average, went up by a factor of 5. Thus, for all intents and purposes, TightVNC CL 5 provides the "best useful compression" for that encoder. -- TurboVNC's best compression level (CL 2) compresses 3D and video workloads significantly more "tightly" than TightVNC CL 5 (~70% better, in the aggregate) but does not quite achieve the same level of compression with 2D workloads (~20% worse, in the aggregate.) This decrease in compression ratio may or may not be noticeable, since many of the datasets it affects are not performance-critical (such as the console output of a compilation, etc.) However, for peace of mind, it was still desirable to have a mode that compressed with equal "tightness" to TightVNC CL 5, since we proposed to replace that encoder entirely. -- A new mode was discovered in the TurboVNC encoder that produces, in the aggregate, similar compression ratios on 2D datasets as TightVNC CL 5. That new mode involves using Zlib level 7 (the same level used by TightVNC CL 5) but setting the "palette threshold" to 256, so that indexed color encoding is used whenever possible. This mode reduces bandwidth only marginally (typically 10-20%) relative to TurboVNC CL 2 on low-color workloads, in exchange for nearly doubling CPU usage, and it does not benefit high-color workloads at all (since those are usually encoded with JPEG.)

/* TurboVNC Encoding support (extends TightVNC) */
Replace TightVNC encoder with TurboVNC encoder. This patch is the result of further research and discussion that revealed the following: -- TightPng encoding and the rfbTightNoZlib extension need not conflict. Since TightPng is a separate encoding type, not supported by TurboVNC-compatible viewers, then the rfbTightNoZlib extension can be used solely whenever the encoding type is Tight and disabled with the encoding type is TightPng. -- In the TightVNC encoder, compression levels above 5 are basically useless. On the set of 20 low-level datasets that were used to design the TurboVNC encoder (these include the eight 2D application captures that were also used when designing the TightVNC encoder, as well as 12 3D application captures provided by the VirtualGL Project-- see http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf), moving from Compression Level (CL) 5 to CL 9 in the TightVNC encoder did not increase the compression ratio of any datasets more than 10%, and the compression ratio only increased by more than 5% on four of them. The compression ratio actually decreased a few percent on five of them. In exchange for this paltry increase in compression ratio, the CPU usage, on average, went up by a factor of 5. Thus, for all intents and purposes, TightVNC CL 5 provides the "best useful compression" for that encoder. -- TurboVNC's best compression level (CL 2) compresses 3D and video workloads significantly more "tightly" than TightVNC CL 5 (~70% better, in the aggregate) but does not quite achieve the same level of compression with 2D workloads (~20% worse, in the aggregate.) This decrease in compression ratio may or may not be noticeable, since many of the datasets it affects are not performance-critical (such as the console output of a compilation, etc.) However, for peace of mind, it was still desirable to have a mode that compressed with equal "tightness" to TightVNC CL 5, since we proposed to replace that encoder entirely. -- A new mode was discovered in the TurboVNC encoder that produces, in the aggregate, similar compression ratios on 2D datasets as TightVNC CL 5. That new mode involves using Zlib level 7 (the same level used by TightVNC CL 5) but setting the "palette threshold" to 256, so that indexed color encoding is used whenever possible. This mode reduces bandwidth only marginally (typically 10-20%) relative to TurboVNC CL 2 on low-color workloads, in exchange for nearly doubling CPU usage, and it does not benefit high-color workloads at all (since those are usually encoded with JPEG.) However, it provides a means of reproducing the same "tightness" as the TightVNC encoder on 2D workloads without sacrificing any compression for 3D/video workloads, and without using any more CPU time than necessary. -- The TurboVNC encoder still performs as well or better than the TightVNC encoder when plain libjpeg is used instead of libjpeg-turbo.

#define TURBO_DEFAULT_SUBSAMP 0
Add TurboVNC encoding support. TurboVNC is a variant of TightVNC that uses the same client/server protocol (RFB version 3.8t), and thus it is fully cross-compatible with TightVNC and TigerVNC (with one exception, which is noted below.) Both the TightVNC and TurboVNC encoders analyze each rectangle, pick out regions of solid color to send separately, and send the remaining subrectangles using mono, indexed color, JPEG, or raw encoding, depending on the number of colors in the subrectangle. However, TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different selection algorithm to determine the appropriate subencoding to use for each subrectangle. Thus, while it sends a protocol stream that can be decoded by any TightVNC-compatible viewer, the mix of subencoding types in this protocol stream will be different from those generated by a TightVNC server. The research that led to TurboVNC is described in the following report: http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf. In summary: 20 RFB captures, representing "common" 2D and 3D application workloads (the 3D workloads were run using VirtualGL), were studied using the TightVNC encoder in isolation. Some of the analysis features in the TightVNC encoder, such as smoothness detection, were found to generate a lot of CPU usage with little or no benefit in compression, so those features were disabled. JPEG encoding was accelerated using libjpeg-turbo (which achieves a 2-4x speedup over plain libjpeg on modern x86 or ARM processors.) Finally, the "palette threshold" (minimum number of colors that the subrectangle must have before it is compressed using JPEG or raw) was adjusted to account for the fact that JPEG encoding is now quite a bit faster (meaning that we can now use it more without a CPU penalty.) TurboVNC has additional optimizations, such as the ability to count colors and encode JPEG images directly from the framebuffer without first translating the pixels into RGB. The TurboVNC encoder compares quite favorably in terms of compression ratio with TightVNC and generally encodes a great deal faster (often an order of magnitude or more.) The version of the TurboVNC encoder included in this patch is roughly equivalent to the one found in version 0.6 of the Unix TurboVNC Server, with a few minor patches integrated from TurboVNC 1.1. TurboVNC 1.0 added multi-threading capabilities, which can be added in later if desired (at the expense of making libvncserver depend on libpthread.) Because TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different mix of subencodings than TightVNC, because it uses the identical protocol (and thus a viewer really has no idea whether it's talking to a TightVNC or TurboVNC server), and because it doesn't support rfbTightPng (and in fact conflicts with it-- see below), the TurboVNC and TightVNC encoders cannot be enabled simultaneously. Compatibility: In *most* cases, a TurboVNC-enabled viewer is fully compatible with a TightVNC server, and vice versa. TurboVNC supports pseudo-encodings for specifying a fine-grained (1-100) quality scale and specifying chrominance subsampling. If a TurboVNC viewer sends those to a TightVNC server, then the TightVNC server ignores them, so the TurboVNC viewer also sends the quality on a 0-9 scale that the TightVNC server can understand. Similarly, the TurboVNC server checks first for fine-grained quality and subsampling pseudo-encodings from the viewer, and failing to receive those, it then checks for the TightVNC 0-9 quality pseudo-encoding. There is one case in which the two systems are not compatible, and that is when a TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer requests compression level 0 without JPEG from a TurboVNC server. For performance reasons, this causes the TurboVNC server to send images directly to the viewer, bypassing Zlib. When the TurboVNC server does this, it also sets bits 7-4 in the compression control byte to rfbTightNoZlib (0x0A), which is unfortunately the same value as rfbTightPng. Older TightVNC viewers that don't handle PNG will assume that the stream is uncompressed but still encapsulated in a Zlib structure, whereas newer PNG-supporting TightVNC viewers will assume that the stream is PNG. In either case, the viewer will probably crash. Since most VNC viewers don't expose compression level 0 in the GUI, this is a relatively rare situation. Description of changes: configure.ac -- Added support for libjpeg-turbo. If passed an argument of --with-turbovnc, configure will now run (or, if cross-compiling, just link) a test program that determines whether the libjpeg library being used is libjpeg-turbo. libjpeg-turbo must be used when building the TurboVNC encoder, because the TurboVNC encoder relies on the libjpeg-turbo colorspace extensions in order to compress images directly out of the framebuffer (which may be, for instance, BGRA rather than RGB.) libjpeg-turbo can optionally be used with the TightVNC encoder as well, but the speedup will only be marginal (the report linked above explains why in more detail, but basically it's because of Amdahl's Law. The TightVNC encoder was designed with the assumption that JPEG had a very high CPU cost, and thus JPEG is used only sparingly.) -- Added a new configure variable, JPEG_LDFLAGS. This is necessitated by the fact that libjpeg-turbo often distributes libjpeg.a and libjpeg.so in /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib32 or /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib64, and many people prefer to statically link with it. Thus, more flexibility is needed than is provided by --with-jpeg. If JPEG_LDFLAGS is specified, then it overrides the changes to LDFLAGS enacted by --with-jpeg (but --with-jpeg is still used to set the include path.) The addition of JPEG_LDFLAGS necessitated replacing AC_CHECK_LIB with AC_LINK_IFELSE (because AC_CHECK_LIB automatically sets LIBS to -ljpeg, which is not what we want if we're, for instance, linking statically with libjpeg-turbo.) -- configure does not check for PNG support if TurboVNC encoding is enabled. This prevents the rfbSendRectEncodingTightPng() function from being compiled in, since the TurboVNC encoder doesn't (and can't) support it. common/turbojpeg.c, common/turbojpeg.h -- TurboJPEG is a simple API used to compress and decompress JPEG images in memory. It was originally implemented because it was desirable to use different types of underlying technologies to compress JPEG on different platforms (mediaLib on SPARC, Quicktime on PPC Macs, Intel Performance Primitives, etc.) These days, however, libjpeg-turbo is the only underlying technology used by TurboVNC, so TurboJPEG's purpose is largely just code simplicity and flexibility. Thus, since there is no real need for libvncserver to use any technology other than libjpeg-turbo for compressing JPEG, the TurboJPEG wrapper for libjpeg-turbo has been included in-tree so that libvncserver can be directly linked with libjpeg-turbo. This is convenient because many modern Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.) now ship libjpeg-turbo as their default libjpeg library. libvncserver/rfbserver.c -- Added logic to check for the TurboVNC fine-grained quality level and subsampling encodings and to map Tight (0-9) quality levels to appropriate fine-grained quality level and subsampling values if communicating with a TightVNC/TigerVNC viewer. libvncserver/turbo.c -- TurboVNC encoder (compiled instead of libvncserver/tight.c) rfb/rfb.h -- Added support for the TurboVNC subsampling level rfb/rfbproto.h -- Added constants for the TurboVNC fine quality level and subsampling encodings as well as the rfbTightNoZlib constant and notes on its usage.

@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 every time 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 every time 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.
