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