1VNC LED state Pseudo-encoding 2============================= 3 4Introduction 5------------ 6 7This document describes the Pseudo-encoding of LED state for RFB which 8is the protocol used in VNC as reference link below: 9 10http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/rfbproto/rfbproto.rst?content-type=text/plain 11 12When accessing a guest by console through VNC, there might be mismatch 13between the lock keys notification LED on the computer running the VNC 14client session and the current status of the lock keys on the guest 15machine. 16 17To solve this problem it attempts to add LED state Pseudo-encoding 18extension to VNC protocol to deal with setting LED state. 19 20Pseudo-encoding 21--------------- 22 23This Pseudo-encoding requested by client declares to server that it supports 24LED state extensions to the protocol. 25 26The Pseudo-encoding number for LED state defined as: 27 28======= =============================================================== 29Number Name 30======= =============================================================== 31-261 'LED state Pseudo-encoding' 32======= =============================================================== 33 34LED state Pseudo-encoding 35-------------------------- 36 37The LED state Pseudo-encoding describes the encoding of LED state which 38consists of 3 bits, from left to right each bit represents the Caps, Num, 39and Scroll lock key respectively. '1' indicates that the LED should be 40on and '0' should be off. 41 42Some example encodings for it as following: 43 44======= =============================================================== 45Code Description 46======= =============================================================== 47100 CapsLock is on, NumLock and ScrollLock are off 48010 NumLock is on, CapsLock and ScrollLock are off 49111 CapsLock, NumLock and ScrollLock are on 50======= ===============================================================
