NAME

clamd - an anti-virus daemon

SYNOPSIS

clamd [options]

DESCRIPTION

The daemon listens for incoming connections on Unix and/or TCP socket and scans files or directories on demand. It reads the configuration from /etc/clamd.conf

COMMANDS

clamd recognizes the following commands:

PING
Check the server's state. It should reply with "PONG".
VERSION
Print program and database versions.
RELOAD
Reload the virus databases.
SHUTDOWN
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 file or directory (recursively) with archive support enabled and don't stop the scanning when a virus is found.
MULTISCAN file/directory
Scan file in a standard way or scan directory (recursively) using multiple threads (to make the scanning faster on SMP machines).
STREAM
Scan stream - on this command clamd will return "PORT number" you should connect to and send data to scan.
SESSION, END
Start/end a clamd session which will allow you to run multiple commands per TCP session. It's recommended to prefix clamd commands with the letter n (eg. nSCAN) to indicate that the command will be delimited by a newline character and that clamd should continue reading command data until a newline is read. The newline delimiter assures that the complete command and its entire argument will be processed as a single command.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Output help information and exit.
-V, --version
Print the version number and exit.
-c FILE, --config-file=FILE
Read configuration from FILE.

FILES

/etc/clamd.conf
