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  replaceā€
       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).

       --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.

       -m, --multiscan
	      In the multiscan mode clamd will attempt to scan	the  directory
	      contents	in  parallel  using  available threads. This option is
	      especially 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.
	      Similarly, clamdscan will wait for clamd to finish  a  directory
	      scan  (performed	in  multiscan  mode) before sending request to
	      scan  another  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.

       --no-summary
	      Do not display summary at the end of scanning.

       --reload
	      Request clamd to reload virus database.

       --fdpass
	      Pass the file descriptor permissions to clamd. This is useful if
	      clamd  is	 running  as  a	 different  user  as it is faster than
	      streaming the file to clamd.  Only  available  if	 connected  to
	      clamd via local(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 occured.
