       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.

       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

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

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

       -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

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