   $ 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/kward/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
