Purpose of TightVNC's screenhooks32.dll?

0

I noticed this file in the program folder and it doesn't appear it's a required file to launch TightVNC.

On the other hand, when (and for what) does TightVNC use it?

I did some DuckDuckGo'ing and the only in-depth information i could find was something that dates back from 2012:

https://github.com/sim0629/tightvnc/blob/master/screen-hooks/ScreenHooks.cpp

Anyone? ;-)

So basically it's a bandwidth saver. Sounds good to me. Though a bit strange it's not required to run the program. Thanks ;-) – copyitright – 2017-04-26T01:10:16.903
