I recently noticed that the master branch of FreeRDP has a change in the command line interface.
The new command line options no longer follow the POSIX standard for command line interface or the GNU standard for CLI. Here are references for both standards: POSIX: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/basedefs/xbd_chap12.html GNU: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Command_002dLine-Interfaces.html I strongly recommend that any tool which runs on Linux follow these standards, rather than create a new command line interface. This interface is completely different from any other tool which I have used on Linux. At VMware, we ship an application which runs xfreerdp, or alternatively, rdesktop. A change in the command line interface breaks compatibility for us. We would have to verify which version of xfreerdp is available, and then choose which version of command line arguments to use. Of course, this problem can be worked around, but it is an ugly addition to the code. For those who haven't looked at the new command line interface, here is a summary. Usage: xfreerdp [file] [options] [/v:<server>[:port]] Syntax: /flag (enables flag) /option:<value> (specifies option with value) +toggle -toggle (enables or disables toggle, where '/' is a synonym of '+') /v:<server>[:port] Server hostname /port:<number> Server port /w:<width> Width ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
