BROADWAYD(1)                     User Commands                    BROADWAYD(1)



NAME
       broadwayd - Broadway display server

SYNOPSIS
       broadwayd [--port PORT] [--address ADDRESS] [--unixsocket ADDRESS]
                 [:DISPLAY]

DESCRIPTION
       broadwayd is a display server for the Broadway GDK backend. It allows
       multiple GTK+ applications to display their windows in the same web
       browser, by connecting to broadwayd.

       When using broadwayd, specify the display number to use, prefixed with
       a colon, similar to X. The default display number is 0.

           broadwayd :5

       Then point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8085. Start your
       applications like this:

           GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 gtk3-demo

       You can add password protection for your session by creating a file in
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/broadway.passwd or $HOME/.config/broadway.passwd with
       a crypt(3) style password hash. A simple way to generate it is with
       openssl:

           openssl passwd -1  > ~/.config/broadway.passwd


OPTIONS
       --port
           Use PORT as the HTTP port, instead of the default 8080 + (DISPLAY -
           1).

       --address
           Use ADDRESS as the HTTP address, instead of the default
           http://127.0.0.1:PORT.

       --unixsocket
           Use ADDRESS as the unix domain socket address. This option
           overrides --address and --port. It is available only on Unix-like
           systems.
