PID -(where PID is the process ID of -.B xvfb\-run -itself) is created in the directory specified by the environment variable -.B TMPDIR -(or -.I /tmp -if that variable is null or unset), and the -.BR tempfile (1) -command is used to create a file in that temporary directory called -.IR Xauthority . -.TP -.B \-h\fR,\fB \-\-help -Display a usage message and exit. -.TP -.BI \-n\ servernumber \fR,\fB\ \-\-server\-num= servernumber -Use -.I servernumber -as the server number (but see the -.B \-a\fR,\fB \-\-auto\-servernum -option above). -The default is 99. -.TP -.B \-l\fR,\fB \-\-listen\-tcp -Enable TCP port listening in the X server. -For security reasons (to avoid denial\-of\-service attacks or exploits), -TCP port listening is disabled by default. -.TP -.BI \-p\ protocolname \fR,\fB\ \-\-xauth\-protocol= protocolname -Use -.I protocolname -as the X authority protocol to use. -The default is \(oq.\(cq, which -.B xauth -interprets as its own default protocol, which is MIT\-MAGIC\-COOKIE\-1. -.TP -.BI \-s\ arguments \fR,\fB\ \-\-server\-args= arguments -Pass -.I arguments -to the -.B Xvfb -server. -Be careful to quote any whitespace characters that may occur within -.I arguments -to prevent them from regarded as separators for -.BR xvfb\-run 's -own arguments. -Also, note that specification of \(oq\-nolisten tcp\(cq in -.I arguments -may override the function of -.BR xvfb\-run 's -own -.B \-l\fR,\fB \-\-listen\-tcp -option, and that specification of the server number (e.g., \(oq:1\(cq) may -be ignored because of the way the X server parses its argument list. -Use the -.B xvfb\-run -option -.BI \-n\ servernumber \fR,\fB\ \-\-server\-num= servernumber -to achieve the latter function. -The default is \(oq\-screen 0 640x480x8\(cq. -.TP -.BI \-w\ delay \fR,\fB\ \-\-wait= delay -Wait -.I delay -seconds after launching -.B Xvfb -before attempting to start the specified command. -The default is 3. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.TP -.B COLUMNS -indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells. -This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages. -If not set, the terminal is queried using -.BR stty (1) -to determine its width. -If that fails, a value of \(oq80\(cq is assumed. -.TP -.B TMPDIR -specifies the directory in which to place -.BR xvfb\-run 's -temporary directory for storage of the X authority file; only used if the -.B \-f -or -.B \-\-auth\-file -options are not specified. -.SH "OUTPUT FILES" -.PP -Unless the -.B \-f -or -.B \-\-auth\-file -options are specified, a temporary -directory and file within it are created (and deleted) to store the X -authority cookies used by the -.B Xvfb -server and client(s) run under it. -See -.BR tempfile (1). -If \-f or \-\-auth\-file are used, then the specified X authority file is -only written to, not created or deleted (though -.B xauth -creates an authority file itself if told to use use that does not already -exist). -.PP -An error file with a user\-specified name is also created if the -.B \-e -or -.B \-\-error\-file -options are specifed; see above. -.SH "EXIT STATUS" -.B xvfb\-run -uses its exit status as well as output to standard error to communicate -diagnostics. -The exit status of \(oq1\(cq is not used, and should be interpreted as failure -of the specified command. -.TP -0 -.B xvfb\-run -only uses this exit status if the -.B \-h\fR,\fB \-\-help -option is given. -In all other situations, this may be interpreted as success of the specified -command. -.TP -2 -No command to run was specified. -.TP -3 -The -.B xauth -command is not available. -.TP -4 -The temporary directory that was going to be used already exists; since -.B xvfb\-run -produces a uniquely named directory, this may indicate an attempt by another -process on the system to exploit a temporary file race condition. -.TP -5 -A problem was encountered while cleaning up the temporary directory. -.TP -6 -A problem was encountered while using -.BR getopt (1) -to parse the command\-line arguments. -.SH EXAMPLES -.TP -.B xvfb\-run \-\-auto\-servernum \-\-server\-num=1 xlogo -runs the -.BR xlogo (1x) -demonstration client inside the -.B Xvfb -X server on the first available server number greater than or equal to 1. -.TP -.B xvfb\-run \-\-server\-args="\-screen 0 1024x768x24" ico \-faces -runs the -.BR ico (1x) -demonstration client (and passes it the -.B \-faces -argument) inside the -.B Xvfb -X server, configured with a root window of 1024 by 768 pixels and a color -depth of 24 bits. -.PP -Note that the demo X clients used in the above examples will not exit on -their own, so they will have to be killed before -.B xvfb\-run -will exit. -.SH BUGS -See -.URL "http://bugs.debian.org/xvfb" "the Debian Bug Tracking System" . -If you wish to report a bug in -.BR xvfb\-run , -please use the -.BR reportbug (1) -command. -.SH AUTHOR -.B xfvb\-run -was written by Branden Robinson and Jeff Licquia with sponsorship from -Progeny Linux Systems. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR Xvfb (1x), -.BR xauth (1x) -.\" vim:set et tw=80: |
