On-access scanning</A>
</H3>
One of the interesting features of <code>clamd</code> is on-access scanning
based on fanotify, included in Linux since kernel 2.6.36.
<SPAN CLASS="textbf">This is not required to run clamd</SPAN>. At the moment the fanotify header is
only available for Linux.
<BR>
<BR>
Configure on-access scanning in <code>clamd.conf</code> and read the
<A HREF="node29.html#On-access">5.3</A> section for on-access scanning usage.
