Hi all,
This patch against current CVS adds VNC reverse connections, where the
server connects actively to a waiting client, as in "-vnc rev:5500" or
"-vnc rev:read.cs.ucla.edu:5500". This is quite useful if the user expects
to run QEMU many times in succession (for example, is debugging a toy OS),
and doesn't want to reopen a VNC client each time.
We already have the ability to pass multiple flags / options to the VNC
driver as a post-fix to the host:port pair, so I'm not a fan of introducing
a new option as a prefix. If using existing options syntax, it could look
like:
-vnc :5500,rev
-vnc read.cs.ucla.edu:5500,rev
Yes, but please, let's spell out "reverse". This is a very nice patch
to have as it's another way (than -daemonize) to reliably connect to the
vnc server after launching a VM.
