    This document discusses command line options and syntax for FreeRDP, an open source implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It supports two command line syntaxes (Windows-style and POSIX-style) and has options for port, device, and printer redirection that are compatible with the mstsc RDP client but also includes additional extended options.

    1.3 Command-Line Interface


    As of FreeRDP 1.1, the command-line interface supports two syntaxes and
    a completely redesigned set of command-line options. Since this is a major
    change, backwards compatibility is still provided for the now deprecated old
    command-line interface.
    FreeRDP uses the same command-line syntax and options as mstsc as a basis,
    allowing a consistent interface between RDP implementations. The mstsc help
    can be obtained by launching mstsc with the /? option:
    On top of this basic set of options, FreeRDP provides a large selection of extended
    options to fit all needs possible. The result is a compatible and consistent RDP
    implementation which is much more flexible and extensible than the original.
    This is why FreeRDP is used on Windows, where mstsc is already available for
    free.

    1.4 Syntax
    FreeRDP supports two command-line syntaxes: the default windows-style syntax
    and the alternative posix-style syntax. This is made possible by a generic
    and highly reusable command-line parsing engine that is part of WinPR. On
    average, the windows-style syntax provides shorter command lines than the
    posix-style syntax. However, many users tend to prefer the posix-style syntax
    and may strongly dislike the windows-style syntax, which is why both syntaxes
    are supported. For the purpose of documenting FreeRDP, the windows-style
    syntax is preferred over the posix-style syntax.
    There are three types of options possible:

    /flag (enables flag)


    /option:<value> (specifies option with value)
    +toggle -toggle (enables or disables toggle, where ’/’ is a synonym of ’+’)
