-------

All redirection is configured using the -r option. The general syntax
is:

-r <module>:<string>

<module> is the name of the redirection module. The following names
are valid: disk, printer, lptport, comport, clipboard, sound. 

<string> is interpreted by each redirection module. 

The redirection modules are described below.


disk mapping
-------------
Multiple mappings possible: yes
Default: no disk redirected
Syntax: -r disk:<sharename>=<path>
Example: -r disk:home=/home/johndoe


printer mapping
---------------
Multiple mappings possible: yes
Default: no printers redirected
Syntax: -r printer:<printername>
Example: -r printer:mydeskjet


LPT port mapping
----------------
Multiple mappings possible: yes
Default: no LPT ports redirected
Syntax: -r lptport:<lptport>=<device>
Example: -r lptport:LPT1=/dev/lp0


COM port mapping
----------------
Multiple mappings possible: yes
Default: no COM ports redirected
Syntax: -r comport:<comport>=<device>
Example: -r comport:COM1=/dev/ttyS0


clipboard mapping
-----------------
Multiple mappings possible: no
