It may work in one of the two following network modes, listening on a: <UL> <LI>Unix (local) socket </LI> <LI>TCP socket </LI> </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. </LI> <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.
