 Data scan functions</A>

 </H3>
96e05490
     It's possible to scan a file or descriptor using:
     <PRE>
 	int cl_scanfile(const char *filename, const char **virname,
 	unsigned long int *scanned, const struct cl_engine *engine,
 	const struct cl_limits *limits, unsigned int options);
 
 	int cl_scandesc(int desc, const char **virname, unsigned
 	long int *scanned, const struct cl_engine *engine, const
 	struct cl_limits *limits, unsigned int options);
 </PRE>
     Both functions will store a virus name under the pointer <code>virname</code>,
     the virus name is part of the engine structure and must not be released
     directly. If the third argument (<code>scanned</code>) is not NULL, the
     functions will increase its value with the size of scanned data (in
     <code>CL_COUNT_PRECISION</code> units). Both functions have support for archive
     limits in order to protect against Denial of Service attacks.
     <PRE>
 struct cl_limits {
     unsigned long int maxscansize;  /* during the scanning of archives this
                                      * size will never be exceeded
                                      */
     unsigned long int maxfilesize;  /* compressed files will only be
                                      * decompressed and scanned up to this size
                                      */
     unsigned int maxreclevel;       /* maximum recursion level for archives */
     unsigned int maxfiles;          /* maximum number of files to be scanned
                                      * within a single archive
                                      */
     unsigned short archivememlim;   /* limit memory usage for some unpackers */
 };
 </PRE>
     The last argument (<code>options</code>) configures the scan engine and supports
     the following flags (that can be combined using bit operators):
     
 <UL>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_STDOPT</SPAN>
 <BR>
 This is an alias for a recommended set of scan options. You
 	      should use it to make your software ready for new features
 	      in the future versions of libclamav.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_RAW</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Use it alone if you want to disable support for special files.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_ARCHIVE</SPAN>
 <BR>
 This flag enables transparent scanning of various archive formats.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_BLOCKENCRYPTED</SPAN>
 <BR>
 With this flag the library will mark encrypted archives as viruses
 	      (Encrypted.Zip, Encrypted.RAR).
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_MAIL</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enable support for mail files.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_MAILURL</SPAN>
 <BR>
 The mail scanner will download and scan URLs listed in a mail
 	      body. This flag should not be used on loaded servers. Due to
 	      potential problems please do not enable it by default but make
 	      it optional.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_OLE2</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enables support for OLE2 containers (used by MS Office and .msi
 	      files).
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_PDF</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enables scanning within PDF files.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_PE</SPAN>
 <BR>
 This flag enables deep scanning of Portable Executable files and
 	      allows libclamav to unpack executables compressed with run-time
 	      unpackers.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_ELF</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enable support for ELF files.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_BLOCKBROKEN</SPAN>
 <BR>
 libclamav will try to detect broken executables and mark them as
 	      Broken.Executable.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_HTML</SPAN>
 <BR>
 This flag enables HTML normalisation (including ScrEnc
 	      decryption).
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_ALGORITHMIC</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enable algorithmic detection of viruses.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_PHISHING_BLOCKSSL</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Phishing module: always block SSL mismatches in URLs.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_PHISHING_BLOCKCLOAK</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Phishing module: always block cloaked URLs.
     
 </LI>
 </UL>
     All functions return 0 (<code>CL_CLEAN</code>) when the file seems clean,
     <code>CL_VIRUS</code> when a virus is detected and another value on failure.
     <PRE>
 	    ...
 	    struct cl_limits limits;
 	    const char *virname;
 
 	memset(&amp;limits, 0, sizeof(struct cl_limits));
 	limits.maxfiles = 10000;
 	limits.maxscansize = 100 * 1048576; /* 100 MB */
 	limits.maxfilesize = 10 * 1048576; /* 10 MB */
 	limits.maxreclevel = 16;
 
 	if((ret = cl_scanfile("/tmp/test.exe", &amp;virname, NULL, engine,
 	&amp;limits, CL_STDOPT)) == CL_VIRUS) {
 	    printf("Virus detected: %s\n", virname);
 	} else {
 	    printf("No virus detected.\n");
 	    if(ret != CL_CLEAN)
 	        printf("Error: %s\n", cl_strerror(ret));
 	}
