84    .BR "-S <button size>"
85    Enable single application mode. This option can be used when running a
86    single, maximized application (via -s). When the minimize button of
87    the windows application is pressed, the rdesktop window is minimized
88    instead of the remote application. The maximize/restore button is
89    disabled. For this to work, you must specify the correct button
90    size, in pixels. The special word "standard" means 18 pixels.

92  .BR "-T <title>"  .BR "-T <title>"
93  Window title.  Sets the window title.
94    .TP
95    .BR "-N"
96    Enable numlock syncronization between the Xserver and the remote RDP
97    session.  This is useful with applications that looks at the numlock
98    state, but might cause problems with some Xservers like Xvnc.
99    .TP
100    .BR "-X <windowid>"
101    Embed rdesktop-window in another window. The windowid is expected to
102    be decimal.
103    .TP
104    .BR "-a <bpp>"
105    Sets the colour depth for the connection (8, 15, 16 or 24).
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 "-x <experience>"
111    Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only
112    theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding
113    to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu
114    animations and full window dragging. Setting experience to l[an] will
115    also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem]
116    disables all (including themes). Experience can also be a hexidecimal
117    number containing the flags.
118    .TP
119    .BR "-P"
120    Enable caching of bitmaps to disk (persistent bitmap caching). This generally
121    improves performance (especially on low bandwidth connections) and reduces
122    network traffic at the cost of slightly longer startup and some disk space.
123    (10MB for 8-bit colour, 20MB for 15/16-bit colour and 30MB for 24-bit colour
124    sessions)
125    .TP
126    .BR "-r <device>"
127    Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
128    that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
129    redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.
130    
131    Following devices are currently supported:
132    .TP
133    .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
134    Redirects serial devices on your client to the
135    server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
136    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
137    OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
138    In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most
139    shell programs will not work with it.
140    .TP
141    .BR "-r disk:<driveletter>=<path>,..."
142    Redirects a path to the drive letter of your choice on the server.
143    (requires Windows XP or newer).
144    .TP
145    .BR "-r lptport:<lptport>=<device>,..."
146    Redirects parallel devices on your client to the server.
147    Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. In Windows 2000
148    it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most shell programs will not work with
149    it.
150    .TP
151    .BR "-r printer:<printername>[=<driver>],..."
152    Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
153    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
154    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
155    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
156    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
157    .TP
158    .BR "-r sound:[local|off|remote]"
159    Redirects sound generated on the server to the client. "remote" only has
160    any effect when you connect to the console with the -0 option. (Requires
161    Windows XP or newer).
162    .TP
163    .BR "-0"
164    Attach to the console of the server (requires Windows Server 2003
165    or newer).
166    .TP
167    .BR "-4"
168    Use RDP version 4.
169    .TP
170    .BR "-5"
171    Use RDP version 5 (default).
