85    Enable single application mode. This option can be used when running a

87    the windows application is pressed, the rdesktop window is minimized
88    instead of the remote application. The maximize/restore button is

106    More than 8 bpp are only supported when connecting to Windows XP
107    (up to 16 bpp) or newer.  Note that the colour depth may also be
108    limited by the server configuration.
109    .TP
110    .BR "-r <device>"
111    Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
112    that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
113    redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
114    
115    Following devices are currently supported:
116    .TP
117    .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
118    Redirects serial devices on your client to the
119    server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
120    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
121    OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
122    In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
123    shell programs will not work with it.
124    .TP
125    .BR "-r disk:<driveletter>=<path>,..."
126    Redirects a path to the drive letter of your choice on the server.
127    (requires Windows XP or newer).
128    .TP
129    .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
130    Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
131    Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
132    it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
133    it.
134    .TP
135    .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
136    Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
137    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
138    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
139    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
140    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
141    .TP
142    .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
143    Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
144    any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
145    Windows XP or newer).
146    .TP
147    .BR "-0"
148    Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server 2003
149    or newer).
