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)

	      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 dis‐
	      ables this, if no session info is available only one spice-vdagent is allowed

FILES

       /etc/sysconfig/spice-vdagentd
	      Default cmdline options can be passed to spice-vdagentd by setting them in the SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS vari‐
	      able in this file
