    <code>clamdscan</code> is a simple <code>clamd</code> client. In many cases you can
    use it as a <code>clamscan</code> replacement however you must remember that:
    
<UL>
<LI>it only depends on <code>clamd</code>
</LI>
<LI>although it accepts the same command line options as
	      <code>clamscan</code> most of them are ignored because they must be
	      enabled directly in <code>clamd</code>, i.e. <code>clamd.conf</code>
</LI>
<LI>scanned files must be accessible for <code>clamd</code>
</LI>
<LI>it can't use external unpackers
