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 /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

COMMANDS
       clamd recognizes the following commands:


       PING   Check the servers 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 dis
	      abled. A full path is required.

       CONTSCAN file/directory
	      Scan  file  or  directory  (recursively)	with  archive  support
	      enabled and dont 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. Its recommended to prefix clamd com
	      mands 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  new
	      line  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
       /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
