OK. I understand it a little bit more. I hadn't realized that the server name and port are now optional, rather than mandatory. I tested the new parser briefly. There do seem to be a lot of changes. It will take me a while to determine whether I understand it and can use it.
Some suggestions: If file is optional, then it should have an option in front of it, otherwise it should be mandatory. Test this parser for quite a while before switching to it in stable. There are very reliable CLI parsers already written. Writing a new one brings a strong risk that there are some cases which are not interpreted correctly. Here's a case which seems to be interpreted incorrectly. Since the file name starts with "/", the parser assumes that we are using windows style options. $ xfreerdp /tmp/foo -v 10.113.138.75:3389 error: server hostname was not specified with /v:<server>[:port] ----- Original Message ----- From: Marc-André Moreau <marcandre.mor...@gmail.com> To: Kevin Dalley <kdal...@vmware.com> Cc: Alex Bligh <a...@alex.org.uk>, Freerdp-devel <freerdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>, Alexis Moinet <alexis.moi...@umons.ac.be> Sent: Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:15:41 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: [Freerdp-devel] Why is there a change in the command line interface? Hey, I haven't magically brought back the old *options* back, only the syntax.

You could always display windows help from /help and POSIX help from --help. -- Alex Bligh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
