 Data scan functions</A>

     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,
 	unsigned int options);
 
 	int cl_scandesc(int desc, const char **virname, unsigned
 	long int *scanned, const struct cl_engine *engine,
 	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).
     The last argument (<code>options</code>) specified the scan options and supports
     the following flags (which 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_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>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_STRUCTURED</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Enable the DLP module which scans for credit card and SSN
 	      numbers.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_STRUCTURED_SSN_NORMAL</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Search for SSNs formatted as xx-yy-zzzz.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_STRUCTURED_SSN_STRIPPED</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Search for SSNs formatted as xxyyzzzz.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_PARTIAL_MESSAGE</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Scan RFC1341 messages split over many emails. You will need to
 	      periodically clean up <code>$TemporaryDirectory/clamav-partial</code>
 	      directory.
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_HEURISTIC_PRECEDENCE</SPAN>
 <BR>
 Allow heuristic match to take precedence. When enabled, if
 	      a heuristic scan (such as phishingScan) detects a possible
 	      virus/phish it will stop scan immediately. Recommended, saves CPU
 	      scan-time. When disabled, virus/phish detected by heuristic scans
 	      will be reported only at the end of a scan. If an archive
 	      contains both a heuristically detected virus/phishing, and a real
 	      malware, the real malware will be reported.
20685cde
 </LI>
 <LI><SPAN  CLASS="textbf">CL_SCAN_BLOCKMACROS</SPAN>
 <BR>
 OLE2 containers, which contain VBA macros will be marked infected
 	      (Heuristics.OLE2.ContainsMacros).
e79e504d
     
 </LI>
 </UL>
     All functions return <code>CL_CLEAN</code> when the file seems clean,
     <code>CL_VIRUS</code> when a virus is detected and another value on failure.
     <PRE>
 	    ...
 	    const char *virname;
 
 	if((ret = cl_scanfile("/tmp/test.exe", &amp;virname, NULL, engine,
20685cde
 	CL_SCAN_STDOPT)) == CL_VIRUS) {
e79e504d
 	    printf("Virus detected: %s\n", virname);
 	} else {
 	    printf("No virus detected.\n");
 	    if(ret != CL_CLEAN)
 	        printf("Error: %s\n", cl_strerror(ret));
 	}
