Clam daemon |
| 28e73e95 |
</H2> |
| 66f082ad |
<I>clamd</I> is a multi-threaded daemon and uses <I>libclamav</I>
to scan files against viruses. It may work in one of the two
following network modes, listening on a: |
| 13c03b49 |
<UL> |
| 66f082ad |
<LI>Unix (local) socket |
| 13c03b49 |
</LI> |
| 66f082ad |
<LI>TCP socket
|
| 13c03b49 |
</LI> |
| 66f082ad |
</UL>
The daemon is fully configurable via the <I>clamav.conf</I> file. You will
find a description for every directive in the <I>clamav.conf(5)</I>
manual. <I>clamd</I> recognizes the following commands:
<UL>
<LI><B>PING</B>
<BR>
Check a daemon state (should reply with "PONG").
</LI>
<LI><B>VERSION</B>
<BR>
Print version information.
</LI>
<LI><B>RELOAD</B>
<BR>
Reload databases. |
| 13c03b49 |
</LI> |
| 66f082ad |
<LI><B>SHUTDOWN</B>
<BR>
Perform a clean exit.
</LI>
<LI><B>SCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support
enabled. A full path is required.
</LI>
<LI><B>RAWSCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support
disabled. A full path is required.
</LI>
<LI><B>CONTSCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support
enabled and don't stop even if virus is found.
</LI>
<LI><B>STREAM</B>
Scan stream - clamd will return a new port number you should
connect to and send a data to scan. <I>The protocol is
obsolete and there will be a new version soon (however this one
will still be supported).</I>
</LI>
<LI><B>SESSION, END</B>
Start/end a clamd session - you can do multiple commands per TCP
session (WARNING: due to the clamd implementation the
<B>RELOAD</B> command will break the session).
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
Clamd reacts on the three special signals:
<UL>
<LI><B>SIGTERM</B> - perform a clean exit
</LI>
<LI><B>SIGHUP</B> - reopen the log file
</LI>
<LI><B>SIGUSR2</B> - reload the database |
