DESCRIPTION
       xfreerdp is an X11 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client which is part

	   color depth of the FreeRDP-window.

       -c dir

	   Sets the size of the FreeRDP window (and of the remote desktop,
	   when establishing a new connection).	 geometry can have one of the

       -h
	   Print help.

       -k id
	   Sets the keyboard-layout-id to id.

       -K
	   Do not interfere with window manager bindings (don't grab
	   keyboard).

       -n hostname
	   Set the reported client hostname to hostname. Default is to
	   automatically detect the hostname.

       -o
	   Play audio on the console instead of redirecting to the client.

       -p password
	   Password used in authentication.

       -s shell

	   complete path to the alternate shell. If the alternete shell

	   ·   l - (lan): Equivalent to 0.

	   ·   num - A hexadecimal number that represents a bit-mask, were
	       numbers mean the following [1]:

	       ·   1: Disable desktop wallpaper.

       --no-auth
	   Skips authentication. This is useful e.g. for the current FreeRDP
	   server that doesn't yet support server-side authentication.

       --authonly
	   Only authenticates. This is useful to test your credentials
	   (username and password). Returns status code 0 if the client can

       --no-fastpath
	   Disables fast-path. Use slow-path packets instead, which have
	   larger headers. It might be good for debugging certain issues when

	   header types.

       --from-stdin
	   Prompts for unspecified arguments -u username, -p password, -d
	   domain and connection host. This is useful to hide arguments from
