  .BR "-s <shell>"
  Startup shell for the user - starts a specific application instead of Explorer.
  .TP
- .BR "-S <button size>"
- Enable single application mode. This option can be used when running a
- single, maximized application (via -s). When the minimize button of

  Use private colourmap.  This will improve colour accuracy on an 8-bit display,

  .TP
+ .BR "-D"
+ Hide window manager decorations, by using MWM hints.
+ .TP
  .BR "-K"
  Do not override window manager key bindings.  By default rdesktop attempts

  .TP
+ .BR "-S <button size>"
+ Enable single application mode. This option can be used when running a
+ single, maximized application (via -s). When the minimize button of

+ Enable numlock syncronization between the Xserver and the remote RDP
+ session.  This is useful with applications that looks at the numlock
+ state, but might cause problems with some Xservers like Xvnc.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-X <windowid>"
+ Embed rdesktop-window in another window. The windowid is expected to
+ be decimal.
  .TP
  .BR "-a <bpp>"
- Use bpp as colourdepth for the connection. Supported are 8, 15, 16 and 24.
+ Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24).

+ (up to 16 bpp) or newer.  Note that the colour depth may also be
+ limited by the server configuration.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-x <experience>"
+ Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only
+ theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding
+ to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu
+ animations and full window dragging. Setting experience to l[an] will
+ also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem]
+ disables all (including themes). Experience can also be a hexidecimal
+ number containing the flags.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-P"
+ Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching). This generally
+ improves performance (especially on low bandwidth connections) and reduces
+ network traffic at the cost of slightly longer startup and some disk space.

+ sessions)

+ that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
+ redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
+ Following devices are currently supported:
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
+ Redirects serial devices on your client to the
+ server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
+ do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
+ OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
+ In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
+ shell programs will not work with it.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r disk:<sharename>=<path>,..."
+ Redirects a path to the share \\\\tsclient\\<sharename> on the server
+ (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
+ characters.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
+ Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
+ Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
+ it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
+ it.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
+ Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
+ is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
+ simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
+% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
+ printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
+ .TP
+ .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
+ Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
+ any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
+ Windows XP or newer).
  .TP
  .BR "-0"
- Attach to the console of the Server.
+ Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server 2003
+ or newer).
  .TP
  .BR "-4"
