Setup

1. Download software and supporting packages.

   $ go get github.com/18121861183/go-vnc
   $ go get golang.org/x/net
   

Usage

Sample code usage is available in the GoDoc.

• Connect and listen to server messages: https://godoc.org/github.com/18121861183/go-vnc#example-Connect

The source code is laid out such that the files match the document sections:

• [7.1] handshake.go
• [7.2] security.go
• [7.3] initialization.go
• [7.4] pixel_format.go
• [7.5] client.go
• [7.6] server.go
• [7.7] encodings.go

There are two additional files that provide everything else:

• vncclient.go -- code for instantiating a VNC client
• common.go -- common stuff not related to the RFB protocol

Example

nc, err := net.Dial("tcp", "192.168.9.93:5900")
if err != nil {
   log.Fatalf("Error connecting to VNC host. %v", err)
}

// Negotiate connection with the server.
vcc := vnc.NewClientConfig("11111111")
vc, version, err := vnc.Connect(context.Background(), nc, vcc)

print(version)
if err != nil {
   log.Fatalf("Error negotiating connection to VNC host. %v", err)
}
fmt.Println(vc.DesktopName())
