.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 9 |
.I rdesktop |
| 10 |
is a client for Microsoft Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Terminal |
| 11 |
Services, Windows XP Remote Desktop, and possibly other Terminal Services |
| 12 |
products. rdesktop currently implements the RDP version 4 protocol. |

.SH OPTIONS |
| 15 |
.TP |
| 16 |
.BR "-u <username>" |
| 17 |
Username for authentication on the terminal server. |
| 18 |
.TP |
| 19 |
.BR "-d <domain>" |
| 20 |
Domain for authentication. |
| 21 |
.TP |
| 22 |
.BR "-s <shell>" |
| 23 |
Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application instead of Explorer. |
| 24 |
.TP |
| 25 |
.BR "-S <button size>" |
| 26 |
Enable single application mode. This option can be used when running a |
| 27 |
single, maximized application (via -s). When the minimize button of |
| 28 |
the windows application is pressed, the rdesktop window is minimized |
| 29 |
instead of the remote application. The maximize/restore button is |
| 30 |
disabled. For this to work, you must specify the correct button |
| 31 |
size, in pixels. The special word "standard" means 18 pixels. |
| 32 |
.TP |
| 33 |
.BR "-c <directory>" |
| 34 |
The initial working directory for the user. Often used in combination with -s |
| 35 |
to set up a fixed login environment. |
| 36 |
.TP |
| 37 |
.BR "-p <password>" |
| 38 |
The password to authenticate with. Note that this may have no effect if |
| 39 |
"Always prompt for password" is enabled on the server. WARNING: if you specify |
| 40 |
a password on the command line it may be visible to other users when they use |
| 41 |
tools like ps. Use -p - to make rdesktop request a password at startup (from |
| 42 |
standard input). |
| 43 |
.TP |
| 44 |
.BR "-n <hostname>" |
| 45 |
Client hostname. Normally rdesktop automatically obtains the hostname of the |
| 46 |
client. |
| 47 |
.TP |
| 48 |
.BR "-k <layout>" |
| 49 |
Keyboard layout to emulate. This requires a corresponding keymap file to be |
| 50 |
installed. The standard keymaps provided with rdesktop follow the RFC1766 |
| 51 |
naming scheme: a language code followed by a country code if necessary - e.g. |
| 52 |
en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv, etc. The default is en-us (a US keyboard). |
| 53 |
.TP |
| 54 |
.BR "-g <geometry>" |
| 55 |
Desktop geometry (WxH). If geometry is the special word "workarea", the geometry |
| 56 |
will be fetched from the extended window manager hints property _NET_WORKAREA, from |
| 57 |
the root window. |
| 58 |
.TP |
| 59 |
.BR "-f" |
| 60 |
Enable fullscreen mode. This overrides the window manager and causes the |
| 61 |
rdesktop window to fully cover the current screen. Fullscreen mode can be |
| 62 |
toggled at any time using Ctrl-Alt-Enter. |
| 63 |
.TP |
| 64 |
.BR "-b" |
| 65 |
Force the server to send screen updates as bitmaps rather than using |
| 66 |
higher-level drawing operations. |
| 67 |
.TP |
| 68 |
.BR "-e" |
| 69 |
Disable encryption. This option is only needed (and will only work) if you |
| 70 |
have a French version of NT TSE. |
| 71 |
.TP |
| 72 |
.BR "-m" |
| 73 |
Do not send mouse motion events. This saves bandwidth, although some Windows |
| 74 |
applications may rely on receiving mouse motion. |
| 75 |
.TP |
| 76 |
.BR "-C" |
| 77 |
Use private colourmap. This will improve colour accuracy on an 8-bit display, |
| 78 |
but rdesktop will appear in false colour when not focused. |
| 79 |
.TP |
| 80 |
.BR "-K" |
| 81 |
Do not override window manager key bindings. By default rdesktop attempts |
| 82 |
to grab all keyboard input when it is in focus. |
| 83 |
.TP |
| 84 |
.BR "-T <title>" |
| 85 |
Window title. |
| 86 |
.TP |
| 87 |
.BR "-D" |
| 88 |
Hide window manager decorations, by using MWM hints. |
