NAME

6       clamd - an anti-virus daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       clamd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  daemon  listens for incoming connections on Unix and/or TCP socket
13       and scans files or directories on demand. It  reads  the  configuration
14       from /etc/clamd.conf
15

COMMANDS

17       clamd recognizes the following commands:
18
19
20       PING   Check the server's state. It should reply with "PONG".
21
22       VERSION
23              Print program and database versions.
24
25       RELOAD Reload the virus databases.
26
27       SHUTDOWN
28              Perform a clean exit.
29
30       SCAN file/directory
31              Scan  a  file  or a directory (recursively) with archive support
32              enabled  (if  not  disabled  in  clamd.conf).  A  full  path  is
33              required.
34
35       RAWSCAN file/directory
36              Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support dis‐
37              abled. A full path is required.
38
39       CONTSCAN file/directory
40              Scan  file  or  directory  (recursively)  with  archive  support
41              enabled and don't stop the scanning when a virus is found.
42
43       MULTISCAN file/directory
44              Scan  file  in  a  standard  way or scan directory (recursively)
45              using multiple threads (to  make  the  scanning  faster  on  SMP
46              machines).
47
48       STREAM Scan  stream  -  on this command clamd will return "PORT number"
49              you should connect to and send data to scan.
50
51       SESSION, END
52              Start/end a clamd session which will allow you to  run  multiple
53              commands  per TCP session. It's recommended to prefix clamd com‐
54              mands with the letter n (eg. nSCAN) to indicate that the command
55              will  be  delimited by a newline character and that clamd should
56              continue reading command data until a newline is read. The  new‐
57              line  delimiter assures that the complete command and its entire
58              argument will be processed as a single command.
59
