Output format</A>
</H2>
<I>clamd</I> uses a clamscan compatible output format:
<PRE>
zolw@Wierszokleta:~$ telnet localhost 3310
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SCAN /home/zolw/infected
/home/zolw/infected/sobre.com: W32/Magistr.B FOUND
Connection closed by foreign host.
</PRE>
In <B>SCAN</B> mode it closes the connection when first virus is found.
In the case of archives the output is exactly the same as with normal
files:
<PRE>
SCAN /home/zolw/Clam/test/test2.zip
/home/zolw/Clam/test/test2.zip: ClamAV-Test-Signature FOUND
</PRE>
<B>CONTSCAN</B> displays all infected files found.
<BR>
Error messages are printed in the following format:
<PRE>
SCAN /no/such/file
/no/such/file: Can't stat() the file ERROR
</PRE>
and they can be easily parsed.
<P>
<I>clamscan</I> writes all messages to <B>stderr</B> (only help is
written to <B>stdout</B> by default) to <B>stderr</B>. You may want
to redirect it to <B>stdout</B> - this is handled by <I>-stdout</I>.
An example clamscan output is:
<PRE>
/tmp/test/removal-tool.exe: Worm.Sober FOUND
/tmp/test/md5.o: OK
/tmp/test/blob.c: OK
/tmp/test/message.c: OK
/tmp/test/error.hta: VBS.Inor.D FOUND
</PRE>
When a virus is found, its name is printed between the <I>filename:</I> and
<I>FOUND</I> strings. If a virus is found in an archive that has been
extracted with an external unpacker it's noticed with <I>Infected
Archive</I>. "Infected Archives" are not counted as infected files - only
files within them are. Notice the difference with built-in unarchiver -
extraction process is realized transparently by libclamav and clamscan
doesn't know which concrete file is infected - just marks a whole archives
as infected.
