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  simple clamd client which may be used as a clamscan replacement. 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.

       -m, --multiscan
              Always use MULTISCAN instead of CONTSCAN.

       --remove
              Remove infected files. Be careful.

       --move=DIRECTORY
              Move infected files into DIRECTORY.

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

EXAMPLES
       (0) To scan a one file:

              clamdscan file

       (1) To scan a current working directory:

              clamdscan

       (2) To scan all files in /home:
