Try "systemctl cat" for the corresponding .socket file.

Thanks, but I can't find a .socket file. While
find / -name *.service | grep vnc
locates the various .service files associated with vnc:
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/tigervncserver@:1.service
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
The same search for *.socket comes up empty.
If you know the package name, you can get a list of files which are part
of that package. If it's installed locally, you can use dpkg -L to get
the filenames. Otherwise, you can use Debian's web site:
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/tigervnc-standalone-server/filelist
I'm guessing that's your package name.

Well, at least I guessed the right package name.
Look, I know the executable is vncserver. The question is how do I get
the service to specify parameters when starting the service? I can start
is from the command line as "vncserver -localhost no" but then I'd have
to use cron to set it up to run on reboot, something the systemd service
already handles.
