RealVNC clients using vncviewer can run in full-screen mode; they use the F8 function-key as the default key for bringing up an options menu (which includes the option to, among other things, switch off full screen mode or to forward a Control-Alt-Delete key-sequence).
Alternatively, a machine (which may be a workstation or a network server) with screen, keyboard, and mouse can be set up to boot and run the VNC server as a service or daemon, then the screen, keyboard, and mouse can be removed and the machine stored in an out-of-the way location. Users commonly deploy VNC as a cross-platform remote desktop system.
TightVNC is a free and open-source remote desktop software server and client application for Linux and Windows.A server for macOS is available under a commercial source code license only, without SDK or binary version provided. [3]
In computer networking, LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient are cross-platform C libraries for the VNC server and client implementations. [2] [3] Both libraries support version 3.8 of the Remote Framebuffer Protocol, are fully IPv6-conformant and can handle most known VNC encodings.

RFB ("remote framebuffer") is an open simple protocol for remote access to graphical user interfaces.Because it works at the framebuffer level it is applicable to all windowing systems and applications, including Microsoft Windows, macOS, the X Window System and Wayland.
x11vnc keeps a copy of the X server's frame buffer in RAM.The X11 programming interface XShmGetImage is used to retrieve the frame buffer pixel data. x11vnc compares the X server's frame buffer against its copy to see which pixel regions have changed (and hence need to be sent to the VNC viewers.)
UltraVNC allows the use of a remote computer as if the user were in front of it. This is achieved by sending mouse movements and key-presses to the remote computer, and replicating the remote computer's display (subject to differences in resolution) locally in real time. UltraVNC bears a strong resemblance to RealVNC Free Edition.
