Return codes</A>
</H2>
Return codes are very useful in system scripts. You can check the return
code from <I>clamscan</I> by running:
<PRE>
$ clamscan; echo Return code: $?
</PRE>
Here is the full list of return codes for <I>clamscan</I>:
<BR>
<P>
<B>0: </B> No virus was found.
<BR> <B>1: </B> Virus(es) detected.
<BR> <B>40: </B> Unknown option passed to <I>clamscan</I>. Please check
clamscan -help or manual page for available options.
<BR> <B>50: </B> Virus database initialization error. Probably it doesn't exist
at the default location or it's malformed (e.g. broken digital
signature)
<BR> <B>52: </B> Not supported file type - clamscan only supports regular files,
directories and symlinks.
<BR> <B>53: </B> Can't open directory.
<BR> <B>54: </B> Can't open file.<IMG

ALT="$^7$">
<BR> <B>55: </B> I/O error during read.
<A NAME="tex2html78"
HREF="footnode.html#foot1090"><SUP>7</SUP></A>
<BR> <B>56: </B> Can't stat input file or directory. File (or directory) you want to
scan doesn't exist.
<BR> <B>57: </B> Can't get absolute pathname of current working directory. Your
current pathname is longer then 200 characters. This is bad and
you may need to recompile ClamAV to fix it.
<BR> <B>58: </B> I/O error. Please check the filesystem.
<BR> <B>59: </B> Can't get information about current user (running clamscan).
<BR> <B>60: </B> Can't get information about user <I>clamav</I>. User <I>clamav</I>
(default unprivileged user) doesn't exist in /etc/passwd.
<BR> <B>61: </B> Can't fork. Can't create new process, please check your system limits.
<BR> <B>63: </B> Can't create temporary file or directory. Please check /tmp
permissions or use -tempdir
<BR> <B>64: </B> Can't write to temporary directory. Please specify another one.
<BR> <B>70: </B> Can't allocate and clear memory. This is a critical error, please
check your system.
<BR> <B>71: </B> Can't allocate memory. Look above.
<BR>
