Clamd client(1) Clam AntiVirus Clamd client(1) NAME clamdscan - scan files and directories for viruses using Clam AntiVirus Daemon SYNOPSIS clamdscan [options] [file/directory] DESCRIPTION clamdscan is a clamd client which may be used as a clamscan replacement. It accepts all the options implemented in clamscan but most of them will be ignored because its scanning abilities only depend on clamd. OPTIONS -h, --help Display help information and exit. -V, --version Print version number and exit. -v, --verbose Be verbose. --quiet Be quiet - only output error messages. --stdout Write all messages (except for libclamav output) to the standard output (stdout). -c, --config-file=FILE Read clamd settings from FILE. -l FILE, --log=FILE Save the scan report to FILE. -f FILE, --file-list=FILE Scan files listed line by line in FILE. -p A[:I], --ping A[:I] Ping clamd up to [A] times at optional interval [I] until it re- sponds. -w, --wait Wait up to 30 seconds for clamd to start. Optionally use alongside ping to set attempts [A] and interval [I] to check clamd. -m, --multiscan In the multiscan mode clamd will attempt to scan the directory con- tents in parallel using available threads. This option is especially useful on multiprocessor and multi-core systems. If you pass more than one file or directory in the command line, they are put in a queue and sent to clamd individually. This means, that single files are always scanned by a single thread. Similarly, clamdscan will wait for clamd to finish a directory scan (performed in multiscan mode) before sending request to scan another directory. This option can be combined with --fdpass (see below). -z, --allmatch After a match, continue scanning within the file for additional matches. --remove Remove infected files. Be careful. --move=DIRECTORY Move infected files into DIRECTORY. --copy=DIRECTORY Copy infected files into DIRECTORY. --no-summary Do not display summary at the end of scanning. --reload Request clamd to reload virus database. --allmatch Continue scanning within file after finding a match. -i, --infected Only print infected files --fdpass Open the file and pass the opened file descriptor to clamd. This is useful if clamd is running as a different user or if clamd sees a different file system tree. This is faster than streaming the file to clamd. Only available if connected to clamd via local(unix) socket. --stream Forces file streaming to clamd. This is generally not needed as clamdscan detects automatically if streaming is required. This op- tion only exists for debugging and testing purposes, in all other cases --fdpass is preferred. EXAMPLES (0) To scan a one file: clamdscan file (1) To scan a current working directory: clamdscan (2) To scan all files in /home: clamdscan /home (3) To scan a file when clamd is running as a different user: clamdscan --fdpass ~/downloads (4) To scan from standard input: clamdscan - < file_to_scan cat file_to_scan | clamdscan - RETURN CODES 0 : No virus found. 1 : Virus(es) found. 2 : An error occurred.
