DISPLAY NAMES
        From the user's perspective, every X server has a display name of the
        form:

               hostname:displaynumber.screennumber
        or
               protocol/hostname:displaynumber.screennumber

        This information is used by the application to determine how it should
        connect to the server and which screen it should use by default (on
        displays with multiple monitors):

        protocol
                The protocol specifies the protocol to use for communication.
                Exactly which protocols are supported is platform dependent,
                but most commonly supported ones are:

                tcp     TCP over IPv4 or IPv6
                inet    TCP over IPv4 only
                inet6   TCP over IPv6 only
                unix    UNIX Domain Sockets (same host only)
                local   Platform preferred local connection method
                If the protocol is not specified, Xlib uses whatever it
                believes is the most efficient transport.

        hostname
