DESCRIPTION

15       LCDd is the server part of LCDproc, a daemon which listens to a certain
16       port  (normally  13666) and displays information on an LCD display.  It
17       works with several types and sizes of displays.
18
19       Most settings of LCDd are configured  through  its  configuration  file
20       /etc/lcdproc/LCDd.conf,  some  of  them can be overridden using command
21       line options.  Before running LCDd you should  carefully  read  through
22       that  file  and  modify  everything  necessary according to your needs.
23       Otherwise you might encounter LCDd not running properly on your system.
24
25       To make full use of LCDd, a client such as lcdproc(1),  lcdexec(1),  or
26       lcdvc is required.
