NAME

7       Daemon

SYNOPSIS

10       clamdscan [options] [file/directory]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       clamdscan is a simple clamd client which may  be  used  as  a  clamscan
14       replacement.  It  accepts  all  the options implemented in clamscan but
15       most of them will be ignored because its scanning abilities only depend
16       on clamd.
