The core library allows an application developer to integrate a PCoIP session directly into an application. The core library facilitates connection to a remote host, decoding PCoIP image data directly into an application supplied frame buffer as well as remoting audio, keyboard and mouse events and supported USB devices.
Xencelabs Pen Displays are supported in the locally terminated mode, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Anyware Client. It is also supported in the bridged mode, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing.
Support is available when a connection is initiated from a Linux Client to a Windows Graphics or Standard agent.
Brokered Session Connection
If you are using a brokered session, this is handled by the broker libraries automatically.
Before you begin, gather the following host desktop details:
The SDK package comes with a sample command line pre-session client called the Broker Client
example, which calls the included broker client libraries and establishes a PCoIP connection. The Broker Client API example demonstrates the success path for establishing new PCoIP sessions.
Do not Use the Broker Client Example in Production
Install the Anyware Client SDK for Linux repository. A shell script to install this is here.
HP Distribution Platform
The Anyware Client for Linux supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Anyware Client.
When using the -l parameter to automatically pass session information to the session
client, you can pass additional session client parameters by enclosing them in double
quotes.
If you need to support more than 20 USB devices, or if you expect your users to control which devices can be bridged, they can be manually added by opening the client’s USB Devices menu and enabling them.
The steps indicated below are used and documented in the bundled sample code. Refer to the code for specific function calls, expected return values and error-handling requirements. The example C++ code can be found in the SDK package located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pcoip-client/examples/minimal_client/main.cpp:
You can use the Anyware Client in full-screen or windowed mode. Full-screen mode is recommended in most cases.
The Anyware Client provides two full-screen modes: one monitor and all monitors.
