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 -

http://127.0.0.1:PORT.
