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 replace- ment. 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 along- side ping to set attempts [A] and interval [I] to check clamd. -m, --multiscan In the multiscan mode clamd will attempt to scan the directory contents in parallel using available threads. This option is es- pecially 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. Simi- larly, clamdscan will wait for clamd to finish a directory scan (performed in multiscan mode) before sending request to scan an- other 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 lo- cal(unix) socket. --stream Forces file streaming to clamd. This is generally not needed as clamdscan detects automatically if streaming is required. This option 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.
