### wayvncctl control socket
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To facilitate runtime interaction and control, wayvnc opens a unix domain socket
|
||||||
|
at *$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR*/wayvncctl (or a fallback of /tmp/wayvncctl-*$UID*). A
|
||||||
|
client can connect and exchange json-formatted IPC messages to query and control
|
||||||
|
the running wayvnc instance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use the `wayvncctl` utility to interact with this control socket from the
|
||||||
|
command line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `help` command can interactively query the available IPC commands:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ wayvncctl help
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"commands": [
|
||||||
|
"help",
|
||||||
|
"version",
|
||||||
|
"set-output",
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ wayvncctl help command=help

||||||
|
{

"help": {

|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See the `wayvnc(1)` manpage for an in-depth description of the IPC protocol and
|
||||||
|
the available commands.

# WAYVNCCTL CONTROL SOCKET
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To facilitate runtime interaction and control, wayvnc opens a unix domain socket
|
||||||
|
at *$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR*/wayvncctl (or a fallback of /tmp/wayvncctl-*$UID*). A
|
||||||
|
client can connect and exchange json-formatted IPC messages to query and control
|
||||||
|
the running wayvnc instance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## IPC COMMANDS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_HELP_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *help* command, when issued without any parameters, lists the names of all
|
||||||
|
available commands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If an optional *command* parameter refers to one of those commands by name, the
|
||||||
|
response data will be a detailed description of that command and its parameters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_VERSION_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *version* command queries the running wayvnc instance for its version
|
||||||
|
information. Much like the _-V_ option, the response data will contain the
|
||||||
|
version numbers of wayvnc, as well as the versions of the neatvnc and aml
|
||||||
|
components.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_SET-OUTPUT_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For multi-output wayland displays, this command switches which output is
|
||||||
|
actively captured by wayvnc. This operates in 2 different modes, depending on
|
||||||
|
which parameters are supplied:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*cycle=next|prev*
|
||||||
|
Cycle to the next/prev output in the output list, wrapping back to the
|
||||||
|
first/last if the end of the list is reached.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*switch-to=output-name*
|
||||||
|
Switch to a specific output by name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## IPC MESSAGE FORMAT
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *wayvncctl(1)* command line utility will construct properly-formatted json
|
||||||
|
ipc messages, but any client will work. The client initiates the connection and
|
||||||
|
sends one or more request objects, each of which will receive a corresponding
|
||||||
|
response object.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note* This message format is unstable and may change substantially over the
|
||||||
|
next few releases.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_REQUEST_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The general form of a json-ipc request message
|
||||||
|
is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"method": "command-name",
|
||||||
|
"id": 123,
|
||||||
|
"params": {
|
||||||
|
"key1": "value1",
|
||||||
|
"key2": "value2",
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *method* is the name of the command to be executed. Use the *help* method to
|
||||||
|
query a list of all valid method names.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *id* field is optional and may be any valid json number or string. If
|
||||||
|
provided, the response to this request will contain the identical id value,
|
||||||
|
which the client may use to coordinate multiple requests and responses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *params* object supplies optional parameters on a per-method basis, and may
|
||||||
|
be omitted if empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_RESPONSE_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"id": 123,
|
||||||
|
"code": 0,
|
||||||
|
"data": {
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the request had an id, the response will have an identical value for *id*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The numerical *code* provides an indication of how the request was handled. A
|
||||||
|
value of *0* always signifies success. Any other value means failure, and varies
|
||||||
|
depending on the method in question.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *data* object contains method-specific return data. This may be structured
|
||||||
|
data in response to a query, a simple error string in the case of a failed
|
||||||
|
request, or it may be omitted entirely if the error code alone is sufficient.
