# socketDevices

The array of socket devices that the VM configures for use ports in the guest VM.

## Declaration

```swift
var socketDevices: [VZSocketDevice] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If you included a VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration object in the configuration of your VM, this property contains a corresponding VZVirtioSocketDevice object. Use that object to configure the ports your VM makes available to the guest operating system. If you didn’t include a socket device in your configuration, this property contains an empty array.
