     <code>clamscan</code> writes all regular program messages to <SPAN  CLASS="textbf">stdout</SPAN> and
     errors/warnings to <SPAN  CLASS="textbf">stderr</SPAN>. You can use the option <code>--stdout</code>
     to redirect all program messages to <SPAN  CLASS="textbf">stdout</SPAN>. Warnings and error
     messages from <code>libclamav</code> are always printed to <SPAN  CLASS="textbf">stderr</SPAN>.
73e034df
     A typical output from <code>clamscan</code> looks like this:
     <PRE>
 	/tmp/test/removal-tool.exe: Worm.Sober FOUND
 	/tmp/test/md5.o: OK
 	/tmp/test/blob.c: OK
 	/tmp/test/message.c: OK
 	/tmp/test/error.hta: VBS.Inor.D FOUND
 </PRE>
     When a virus is found its name is printed between the <code>filename:</code> and
     <code>FOUND</code> strings. In case of archives the scanner depends on libclamav
     and only prints the first virus found within an archive:
     <PRE>
 	zolw@localhost:/tmp$ clamscan malware.zip 
 	malware.zip: Worm.Mydoom.U FOUND
 </PRE>
61b40ee3
     <SPAN  CLASS="textit"><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">TIP:</SPAN> You can force clamscan to list all infected
73e034df
     files in an archive using -no-archive (this option disables
     transparent decompressors built into libclamav) and enabling external
61b40ee3
     decompressors: -unzip -unrar...</SPAN>.

 <BR>    <PRE>
 	zolw@localhost:/tmp$ clamscan --no-archive --unzip malware.zip
 	Archive:  /tmp/malware.zip
 	  inflating: test1.exe
 	  inflating: test2.exe
 	  inflating: test3.exe
 	/tmp/clamav-77e7bfdbb2d3872b/test1.exe: Worm.Mydoom.U FOUND
 	/tmp/clamav-77e7bfdbb2d3872b/test2.exe: Trojan.Taskkill.A FOUND
 	/tmp/clamav-77e7bfdbb2d3872b/test3.exe: Worm.Nyxem.D FOUND
 	/tmp/malware.zip: Infected.Archive FOUND
