NAME

       lcdvc - LCDproc virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       lcdvc [-fh] [-a addr] [-c file] [-p port] [-r level] [-s bool]

DESCRIPTION

       This program shows content from a system console on a LCD controlled by
       LCDd. As the console is usually larger than a LCD, the  area  shown  on
       the LCD screen can be scrolled using keys attached to the display.

       Additionally  it features an autoscroll feature, which is on by default
       and can only be disabled by using lcdvc’s menu.

       By default it uses /dev/vcs and /dev/vcsa devices  as  the  console  to
       show.  Other  console  devices  can  be  set  in the configuration file
       /etc/lcdvc.conf. The keys used for scrolling can be set in  the  config
       file as well.

OPTIONS

       The   following   options   can   be  set  in  the  configuration  file
       /etc/lcdvc.conf as well, but those  given  on  the  command  line  take
       precedence:

       -a addr
              DNS name or IP address of the LCDd server (default localhost).

       -c file
              Specify configuration file.

       -f     Run in foreground.

       -h     Output help and exit.

       -p port
              Port of the LCDd server (default 13666).

       -r level
              Set reporting level (0-5, default: 2)

       -s bool
              Report to syslog (1) or stderr (0, default).
