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

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

       -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
