<h3 class="section">3.1 Unix Display Names</h3>
<p>A display name on Unix has the following syntax:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[hostname]:displayno[.screenno]
</pre></div>
<p>If <var>hostname</var> is omitted this refers to a display on the same
machine as the client is running on. A Unix socket is used to connect
to the display identified by <code>displayno</code>, which must be an integer
from 0 and upwards.
</p>
<p>If <var>hostname</var> is specified, it gives the network name or IP-number
of the machine to contact. A TCP socket is used, connecting to port
6000+<var>displayno</var> on <var>hostname</var>.
</p>
<p>If the display contains more than one screen, <var>screenno</var> can be
specified to make another screen than 0 the default screen. If the
number is larger than the available maximum screen number, it will be
set to the maximum.
</p>
<p>A few examples:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">:0 Display 0 on this host, connects to the Unix socket
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
:0.1 Same as above, but specifying a different default screen
myhost:0 Display 0 on myhost, connects to TCP port 6000
myhost:10 Display 10 on myhost, connects to TCP port 6010
localhost:0 Display 0 on localhost, i.e. the same host as the client
runs on. Uses a TCP socket, while :0 uses a Unix socket
</pre></div>
<p>The default display name is stored in the environmental variable
<code>DISPLAY</code>. If that isn’t set, <code>error.DisplayNameError</code> is
raised.
</p>
