NAME
       spice-vdagentd - Spice guest agent daemon


SYNOPSIS
       spice-vdagent [OPTIONS]


DESCRIPTION
       The  spice  guest  agent  for  Linux  consists  of 2 parts, a system wide daemon spice-vdagentd and a X11
       session agent spice-vdagent of which there is one per X11 session.
       spice-vdagentd gets started through a Sys-V initscript or a systemd unit.


FEATURES
       The spice guest agent adds the following features to spice Linux guests:

       Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag)

       Automatic adjustment of the X11 session's number of virtual monitors, and their resolution, to the number
       of client windows and their resolution

       Support  of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X11 session and the client, this supports
       both the primary selection and the clipboard

       Support for transferring files from the client to the agent


OPTIONS
       -h     Print a short description of all command line options

       -d     Log debug messages (use twice for extra info)

       -f     Treat uinput device as fake; no ioctls.  This is useful in combination with Xspice.

       -o     The daemon will exit after processing a single session.

       -s port
              Set virtio serial port (default: /dev/virtio-ports/com.redhat.spice.0)

       -u device
              Set uinput device (default: /dev/uinput)

       -x     Don't daemonize

       -X     Disable session info usage, spice-vdagentd needs to know which spice-vdagent is in  the  currently
              active  X11  session.  spice-vdagentd uses console kit or systemd-logind (compile time option) for
              this; The -X option disables this, if no session info  is  available  only  one  spice-vdagent  is
              allowed


FILES
       The Sys-V initscript or systemd unit parses the following files:

       /etc/default/spice-vdagentd
              Default   cmdline   options   can   be   passed   to   spice-vdagentd   by  setting  them  in  the
              SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS variable in this file
