clamd - an anti-virus daemon
clamd [options]
The daemon listens for incoming connections on Unix or TCP socket and scans files or directories on demand. Its a part of the Clam AntiVirus package. It reads its configuration information from a clamd.conf file. It provides on-access scanning feature (clamuko) under Linux.
clamd recognizes the following commands:
PING Check the servers state. It should reply with "PONG". VERSION Print a version information. RELOAD Reload the virus databases. QUIT Perform a clean exit. SCAN file/directory Scan a file or a directory (recursively) with archive support enabled (if not disabled in clamd.conf). A full path is required. RAWSCAN file/directory Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support disabled. A full path is required. CONTSCAN file/directory Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support enabled and continue scanning even when virus is found. A full path is required. STREAM Scan stream - on this command clamd will return "PORT number" and you can connect to that port and send a data to scan.
-h, --help Output help information and exit. -V, --version Print the version number and exit. -c FILE, --config-file=FILE Read configuration from FILE.
