NAME

clamdscan - scan files and directories against viruses using Clam AntiVirus Daemon

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

clamdscan [options] [file/directory]

DESCRIPTION

clamdscan is a simple clamd client which may be used as a clamscan replacement. clamdscan accepts all the options implemented in clamscan but most of them will be ignored because its scanning abilities only depend on clamd. clamdscan is a part of the Clam AntiVirus package.

OPTIONS

-h, --help Output help information and exit.
-V, --version
  Print version number and exit.
-v, --verbose
  Be verbose. This option causes clamscan to print many additional informations.
--quiet Be quiet - only output error messages.
--stdout
  Write all messages (except for libclamav output) to the standard output (stdout).
--config-file=FILE
  Read clamd settings from FILE.
-l FILE, --log=FILE
  Save the scan report to FILE.
--remove
  Remove infected files. Be careful.
--move=DIRECTORY
  Move infected files into DIRECTORY.
--no-summary
  Do not display summary at the end of scanning.
