clamdscan

Scan for viruses using the ClamAV Daemon. More information: https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Usage/Scanning.html#clamdscan.

• Scan a file or directory for vulnerabilities:

clamdscan path/to/file_or_directory

• Scan data from stdin:

command | clamdscan -

• Scan the current directory and output only infected files:

clamdscan --infected

• Print the scan report to a log file:

clamdscan --log path/to/log_file

• Move infected files to a specific directory:

clamdscan --move path/to/quarantine_directory

• Remove infected files:

clamdscan --remove

• Use multiple threads to scan a directory:

clamdscan --multiscan

• Pass the file descriptor instead of streaming the file to the daemon:

clamdscan --fdpass
