Bug Description

Binary package hint: rdesktop

$ rdesktop --help mentions the following option:

         '-r clipboard:[off|PRIMARYCLIPBOARD|CLIPBOARD]': enable clipboard
                      redirection.
                      'PRIMARYCLIPBOARD' looks at both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
                      when sending data to server.
                      'CLIPBOARD' looks at only CLIPBOARD.

$ man rdesktop
contains no information on clipboard redirection.

It is only a documentation issue, but it is not solved yet. It's an option that is missing in the man pages. Isn't this the right place to report documentation issues?

I noticed this as well. I became aware of it when I saw the clipboard option described at /usr/share/doc/rdesktop/redirection.txt

Confirmed because this can be easily confirmed by running both 'rdesktop --help' and 'man rdesktop'.
