Clam
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
  /usr/local/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
  /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
