SpiceClientGLib – 2.0: Application Support
Description: Reference for SpiceClientGLib-2.0: Application Support

#### Application Support

These objects provide high-level services that applications typically need when building a SPICE client.

## Audio

`SpiceAudio` provides automatic audio playback and recording by connecting to playback and record channels as they appear. Use `spice_audio_get()` to obtain the session’s audio handler.

## USB Device Manager

`SpiceUsbDeviceManager` manages USB device redirection. It can automatically redirect newly plugged devices based on filter rules, or let the application explicitly connect and disconnect devices.

    SpiceUsbDeviceManager *mgr = spice_usb_device_manager_get(session, NULL);
    GPtrArray *devices = spice_usb_device_manager_get_devices(mgr);

    for (guint i = 0; i < devices->len; i++) {
        SpiceUsbDevice *dev = g_ptr_array_index(devices, i);
        gchar *desc = spice_usb_device_get_description(dev, NULL);
        g_print("Device: %s\n", desc);
        g_free(desc);
    }

## Smartcard Manager

`SpiceSmartcardManager` manages smartcard readers and virtual card insertion/removal. Use `spice_smartcard_manager_get()` to obtain the singleton.

## QMP Port

`SpiceQmpPort` wraps the QEMU Machine Protocol over a SPICE port channel, allowing the client to query VM status and trigger actions like pause, reset, and powerdown.

## Utility Functions

- `spice_get_option_group()` — Returns a `GOptionGroup` for SPICE command-line options
- `spice_set_session_option()` — Applies a `GOptionGroup` to a session
- `spice_glib_set_debug()` — Enable or disable debug logging
- `spice_glib_get_version_string()` — Returns the library version string
