Please don't use argv[0] to determine the behavior. This is confusing. It should be possible to make a link to a program and have it behave in the same way as the original program.
Also, it violates the GNU standards. http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/User-Interfaces.html#User-Interfaces ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Dowdy" <sdo...@ucar.edu> To: freerdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 9:38:58 AM Subject: Re: [Freerdp-devel] Why is there a change in the command line interface? I'm not overly fond of the existing command line structure, but i'm also not desiring necessarily to have an MSTSC compatible command line structure, either. I do understand the desire to have an MSTSC compatible interface, so why not just create a front-end converter to translate the options for MSTSC into the POSIX command options and exec the POSIX freerdp executable? You could even use argv[0] to determine how to process the command line options and use hard/sym-links to name the executable. (single executable) Summary: Please preserve the POSIX compliant command line, and secondarily allow MSTSC style via wrapper/translation/alternate argv[0] selector parser. thanks, --stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
