23 * rfbproto.h - header file for the RFB protocol version 3.3
25 * Uses types CARD<n> for an n-bit unsigned integer, INT<n> for an n-bit signed
26 * integer (for n = 8, 16 and 32).
28 * All multiple byte integers are in big endian (network) order (most
29 * significant byte first). Unless noted otherwise there is no special
30 * alignment of protocol structures.
33 * Once the initial handshaking is done, all messages start with a type byte,
34 * (usually) followed by message-specific data. The order of definitions in
35 * this file is as follows:
37 * (1) Structures used in several types of message.
38 * (2) Structures used in the initial handshaking.
39 * (3) Message types.
40 * (4) Encoding types.
41 * (5) For each message type, the form of the data following the type byte.
42 * Sometimes this is defined by a single structure but the more complex
43 * messages have to be explained by comments.

133 * Protocol Version
135 * The server always sends 12 bytes to start which identifies the latest RFB
136 * protocol version number which it supports. These bytes are interpreted
137 * as a string of 12 ASCII characters in the format "RFB xxx.yyy\n" where
138 * xxx and yyy are the major and minor version numbers (for version 3.3
139 * this is "RFB 003.003\n").
141 * The client then replies with a similar 12-byte message giving the version
142 * number of the protocol which should actually be used (which may be different
143 * to that quoted by the server).
145 * It is intended that both clients and servers may provide some level of
146 * backwards compatibility by this mechanism. Servers in particular should
147 * attempt to provide backwards compatibility, and even forwards compatibility
148 * to some extent. For example if a client demands version 3.1 of the
149 * protocol, a 3.0 server can probably assume that by ignoring requests for
150 * encoding types it doesn't understand, everything will still work OK. This
151 * will probably not be the case for changes in the major version number.
153 * The format string below can be used in sprintf or sscanf to generate or
154 * decode the version string respectively.

166 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
167 * Authentication
169 * Once the protocol version has been decided, the server then sends a 32-bit
170 * word indicating whether any authentication is needed on the connection.
171 * The value of this word determines the authentication scheme in use. For
172 * version 3.0 of the protocol this may have one of the following values:
175 #define rfbConnFailed 0
176 #define rfbNoAuth 1
177 #define rfbVncAuth 2
180 * rfbConnFailed: For some reason the connection failed (e.g. the server
181 * cannot support the desired protocol version). This is
182 * followed by a string describing the reason (where a
183 * string is specified as a 32-bit length followed by that
184 * many ASCII characters).
186 * rfbNoAuth: No authentication is needed.
188 * rfbVncAuth: The VNC authentication scheme is to be used. A 16-byte
189 * challenge follows, which the client encrypts as
190 * appropriate using the password and sends the resulting
191 * 16-byte response. If the response is correct, the
192 * server sends the 32-bit word rfbVncAuthOK. If a simple
193 * failure happens, the server sends rfbVncAuthFailed and
194 * closes the connection. If the server decides that too
195 * many failures have occurred, it sends rfbVncAuthTooMany
196 * and closes the connection. In the latter case, the
197 * server should not allow an immediate reconnection by
198 * the client.

207 * Client Initialisation Message
209 * Once the client and server are sure that they're happy to talk to one
210 * another, the client sends an initialisation message. At present this
211 * message only consists of a boolean indicating whether the server should try
212 * to share the desktop by leaving other clients connected, or give exclusive
213 * access to this client by disconnecting all other clients.

224 * Server Initialisation Message

243 * Following the server initialisation message it's up to the client to send
244 * whichever protocol messages it wants. Typically it will send a
245 * SetPixelFormat message and a SetEncodings message, followed by a
246 * FramebufferUpdateRequest. From then on the server will send
247 * FramebufferUpdate messages in response to the client's
248 * FramebufferUpdateRequest messages. The client should send
249 * FramebufferUpdateRequest messages with incremental set to true when it has
250 * finished processing one FramebufferUpdate and is ready to process another.
251 * With a fast client, the rate at which FramebufferUpdateRequests are sent
252 * should be regulated to avoid hogging the network.

451 * ForegroundSpecified - if set, a pixel value follows which specifies

453 * If this bit is set then the SubrectsColoured bit must be zero.
455 * AnySubrects - if set, a single byte follows giving the number of

459 * SubrectsColoured - if set then each subrectangle is preceded by a pixel
460 * value giving the colour of that subrectangle. If not set, all
461 * subrectangles are the same colour, the foreground colour; if the
462 * ForegroundSpecified bit wasn't set then the foreground is the same as
463 * the last tile.

499 * Tight Encoding.
501 *-- The first byte of each Tight-encoded rectangle is a "compression control
502 * byte". Its format is as follows (bit 0 is the least significant one):
504 * bit 0: if 1, then compression stream 0 should be reset;
505 * bit 1: if 1, then compression stream 1 should be reset;
506 * bit 2: if 1, then compression stream 2 should be reset;
507 * bit 3: if 1, then compression stream 3 should be reset;
508 * bits 7-4: if 1000 (0x08), then the compression type is "fill",
509 * if 1001 (0x09), then the compression type is "jpeg",
510 * if 0xxx, then the compression type is "basic",
511 * values greater than 1001 are not valid.
513 * If the compression type is "basic", then bits 6..4 of the
514 * compression control byte (those xxx in 0xxx) specify the following:
516 * bits 5-4: decimal representation is the index of a particular zlib
517 * stream which should be used for decompressing the data;
518 * bit 6: if 1, then a "filter id" byte is following this byte.
520 *-- The data that follows after the compression control byte described
521 * above depends on the compression type ("fill", "jpeg" or "basic").
523 *-- If the compression type is "fill", then the only pixel value follows, in
524 * client pixel format (see NOTE 1). This value applies to all pixels of the
525 * rectangle.
527 *-- If the compression type is "jpeg", the following data stream looks like
528 * this:
530 * 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation;
531 * N bytes: JPEG image.
533 * Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, according
534 * to the following scheme:
536 * 0xxxxxxx (for values 0..127)
537 * 1xxxxxxx 0yyyyyyy (for values 128..16383)
538 * 1xxxxxxx 1yyyyyyy zzzzzzzz (for values 16384..4194303)
540 * Here each character denotes one bit, xxxxxxx are the least significant 7
541 * bits of the value (bits 0-6), yyyyyyy are bits 7-13, and zzzzzzzz are the
542 * most significant 8 bits (bits 14-21). For example, decimal value 10000
543 * should be represented as two bytes: binary 10010000 01001110, or
544 * hexadecimal 90 4E.
546 *-- If the compression type is "basic" and bit 6 of the compression control
547 * byte was set to 1, then the next (second) byte specifies "filter id" which
548 * tells the decoder what filter type was used by the encoder to pre-process
549 * pixel data before the compression. The "filter id" byte can be one of the
550 * following:
552 * 0: no filter ("copy" filter);
553 * 1: "palette" filter;
554 * 2: "gradient" filter.
556 *-- If bit 6 of the compression control byte is set to 0 (no "filter id"
557 * byte), or if the filter id is 0, then raw pixel values in the client
558 * format (see NOTE 1) will be compressed. See below details on the
559 * compression.
561 *-- The "gradient" filter pre-processes pixel data with a simple algorithm
562 * which converts each color component to a difference between a "predicted"
563 * intensity and the actual intensity. Such a technique does not affect
564 * uncompressed data size, but helps to compress photo-like images better.
565 * Pseudo-code for converting intensities to differences is the following:
567 * P[i,j] := V[i-1,j] + V[i,j-1] - V[i-1,j-1];
568 * if (P[i,j] < 0) then P[i,j] := 0;
569 * if (P[i,j] > MAX) then P[i,j] := MAX;
570 * D[i,j] := V[i,j] - P[i,j];
572 * Here V[i,j] is the intensity of a color component for a pixel at
573 * coordinates (i,j). MAX is the maximum value of intensity for a color
574 * component.
576 *-- The "palette" filter converts true-color pixel data to indexed colors
577 * and a palette which can consist of 2..256 colors. If the number of colors
578 * is 2, then each pixel is encoded in 1 bit, otherwise 8 bits is used to
579 * encode one pixel. 1-bit encoding is performed such way that the most
580 * significant bits correspond to the leftmost pixels, and each raw of pixels
581 * is aligned to the byte boundary. When "palette" filter is used, the
582 * palette is sent before the pixel data. The palette begins with an unsigned
583 * byte which value is the number of colors in the palette minus 1 (i.e. 1
584 * means 2 colors, 255 means 256 colors in the palette). Then follows the
585 * palette itself which consist of pixel values in client pixel format (see
586 * NOTE 1).
588 *-- The pixel data is compressed using the zlib library. But if the data
589 * size after applying the filter but before the compression is less then 12,
590 * then the data is sent as is, uncompressed. Four separate zlib streams
591 * (0..3) can be used and the decoder should read the actual stream id from
592 * the compression control byte (see NOTE 2).
594 * If the compression is not used, then the pixel data is sent as is,
595 * otherwise the data stream looks like this:
597 * 1..3 bytes: data size (N) in compact representation;
598 * N bytes: zlib-compressed data.
600 * Data size is compactly represented in one, two or three bytes, just like
601 * in the "jpeg" compression method (see above).
603 *-- NOTE 1. If the color depth is 24, and all three color components are
604 * 8-bit wide, then one pixel in Tight encoding is always represented by
605 * three bytes, where the first byte is red component, the second byte is
606 * green component, and the third byte is blue component of the pixel color
607 * value. This applies to colors in palettes as well.
609 *-- NOTE 2. The decoder must reset compression streams' states before
610 * decoding the rectangle, if some of bits 0,1,2,3 in the compression control
611 * byte are set to 1. Note that the decoder must reset zlib streams even if
612 * the compression type is "fill" or "jpeg".
614 *-- NOTE 3. The "gradient" filter and "jpeg" compression may be used only
615 * when bits-per-pixel value is either 16 or 32, not 8.
617 *-- NOTE 4. The width of any Tight-encoded rectangle cannot exceed 2048
618 * pixels. If a rectangle is wider, it must be split into several rectangles
619 * and each one should be encoded separately.

635 * XCursor encoding. This is a special encoding used to transmit X-style
636 * cursor shapes from server to clients. Note that for this encoding,
637 * coordinates in rfbFramebufferUpdateRectHeader structure hold hotspot
638 * position (r.x, r.y) and cursor size (r.w, r.h). If (w * h != 0), two RGB
639 * samples are sent after header in the rfbXCursorColors structure. They
640 * denote foreground and background colors of the cursor. If a client
641 * supports only black-and-white cursors, it should ignore these colors and
642 * assume that foreground is black and background is white. Next, two bitmaps
643 * (1 bits per pixel) follow: first one with actual data (value 0 denotes
644 * background color, value 1 denotes foreground color), second one with
645 * transparency data (bits with zero value mean that these pixels are
646 * transparent). Both bitmaps represent cursor data in a byte stream, from
647 * left to right, from top to bottom, and each row is byte-aligned. Most
648 * significant bits correspond to leftmost pixels. The number of bytes in
649 * each row can be calculated as ((w + 7) / 8). If (w * h == 0), cursor
650 * should be hidden (or default local cursor should be set by the client).

673 * (1 bit per pixel, exactly the same format as used for transparency bitmap
674 * in the XCursor encoding). If (w * h == 0), cursor should be hidden (or

681 * of the remote cursor. It has two sub-messages: SetImage is used to upload
682 * one of 16 images, and Move selects the image and sets the position of the
683 * cursor.
684 * Each SoftCursor message starts with a CARD8. If it is in the 0-15 range
685 * it specifies the number of the cursor image and is followed by the
686 * rfbSoftCursorMove message. If the given cursor has not been set yet the
687 * message will be ignored. If the first CARD8 is in the 128-143 range it
688 * specifies the cursor that will be set in the following
689 * rfbSoftCursorSetImage message. To hide the cursor send a SetImage
690 * message with width and height 0 and imageLength 0.
691 * SetImage transmits the hotspot coordinates in the x/y fields of the
692 * rfbFramebufferUpdateRectHeader, width and height of the image are in the
693 * header's width and height fields.
694 * Move transmits the pointer coordinates in the w/h fields of the
695 * header, x/y are always 0.
