126    .BR "-P"
127    Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching). This generally
128    improves performance (especially on low bandwidth connections) and reduces
129    network traffic at the cost of slightly longer startup and some disk space.

131    sessions)
132    .TP
133    .BR "-r <device>"
134    Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
135    that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
136    redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
137    
138    Following devices are currently supported:
139    .TP
140    .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
141    Redirects serial devices on your client to the
142    server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
143    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
144    OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
145    In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
146    shell programs will not work with it.
147    .TP
148    .BR "-r disk:<sharename>=<path>,..."
149    Redirects a path to the share \\\\tsclient\\<sharename> on the server
150    (requires Windows XP or newer). The share name is limited to 8
151    characters.
152    .TP
153    .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
154    Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
155    Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
156    it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
157    it.
158    .TP
159    .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
160    Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
161    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
162    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
163    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
164    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
165    .TP
166    .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
167    Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
168    any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
169    Windows XP or newer).
