# libvncd
![](https://img.shields.io/badge/written%20in-C%2B%2B%20%28ASIO%29-blue)
A VNC server providing a custom framebuffer.
You can inherit from the `VncdConnection` class as per the sample, and respond to the simple framebuffer and input callbacks. This design allows using the VNC/RFB protocol as a wrapper for arbitrary graphical tasks.
## Features
- Supports raw, zlib, ZRLE, and TightPNG image encoding
- Supports optional VNC authentication
- Single-threaded asynchronous design supporting multiple simultaneous clients
- Tested working with TightVNC Viewer 2.7 and RealVNC Viewer 4.1
- Tested compilation with Visual Studio 2013, but cross-platform/compiler ports should be trivial
- Designed to be connected to a custom framebuffer implementation
