clamav-unofficial-sigs(8)					  SCRIPT COMMANDS					 clamav-unofficial-sigs(8)

NAME

       clamav-unofficial-sigs - Download, test, and install third-party ClamAV signature databases.

SYNOPSIS

       clamav-unofficial-sigs [options]

DESCRIPTION

       clamav-unofficial-sigs  is  a  shell script that updates the Sanesecurity, SecuriteInfo, MalwarePatrol, OITC, INetMsg and ScamNailer third-
       party signature databases for ClamAV.

OPTIONS

       This script follows the standard GNU command line syntax.  A summary of the options is shown below.

       -b     Add a bypass signature entry to local.ign in order to temporarily resolve a false-positive issue with a third-party signature.   The
	      script  will monitor any entries it makes to local.ign and will automatically remove bypass entries if either the original signature
	      has been modified or removed from the database.

       -c FILE-NAME
	      Source configuration information from a different file.

       -d     Decode a hexadecimal encoded string or an individual ClamAV 3rd-party signature for viewing.  This will not decode image	signatures
	      nor the official signatures.

       -e     Encode a entire input string in hexadecimal for signature usage in any *.ndb database.

       -f     Encode a formated input string in hexadecimal that contains spacing field '{}, (), *', without encoding the spacing fields, for sig-
	      nature usage in any '*.ndb' database.

       -g FILE-NAME
	      Verify the GPG signature for a specific SaneSecurity database file.  Only specify the filename as listed in the  configuration  file
	      and the script will search for it in the work directory.

       -h     Print the script help and usage information.

       -i     Print system and script configuration information.

       -m     Make  a hexadecimal signature database file (*.ndb) from a clear text ascii file.  Provides support for both full and formatted sig-
	      natures.	Additional information is provided when using the flag.

       -r     Remove the clamav-unofficial-sigs script and all of its associated files, databases and work directories from the system.

       -s FILE-NAME
	      Test the integrity of a third-party signature database with clamscan.  Only specify the filename as listed in the configuration file
	      and the script will search for it in the work directory.

       -t     If  HAM  directory  scanning is enabled in the script's configuration file, then output the names of any third-party signatures that
	      triggered during the HAM directory scan.

       -v     Print the script version and date information.

NAME

       clamdscan - scan files and directories for viruses using Clam AntiVirus Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       clamdscan [options] [file/directory]

DESCRIPTION

       clamdscan  is  a  clamd	client which may be used as a clamscan replacement. It accepts all the options implemented in clamscan but most of
       them will be ignored because its scanning abilities only depend on clamd.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display help information and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print version number and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose.

       --quiet
	      Be quiet - only output error messages.

       --stdout
	      Write all messages (except for libclamav output) to the standard output (stdout).

       --config-file=FILE
	      Read clamd settings from FILE.

       -l FILE, --log=FILE
	      Save the scan report to FILE.

       -f FILE, --file-list=FILE
	      Scan files listed line by line in FILE.

       -m, --multiscan
	      In the multiscan mode clamd will attempt to scan the directory contents in parallel using available threads. This  option  is  espe-
	      cially  useful  on  multiprocessor and multi-core systems. If you pass more than one file or directory in the command line, they are
	      put in a queue and sent to clamd individually. This means, that single files are always  scanned	by  a  single  thread.	Similarly,
	      clamdscan will wait for clamd to finish a directory scan (performed in multiscan mode) before sending request to scan another direc-
	      tory. This option can be combined with --fdpass (see below).

       -z, --allmatch
	      After a match, continue scanning within the file for additional matches.

       --remove
	      Remove infected files. Be careful.

       --move=DIRECTORY
	      Move infected files into DIRECTORY.

       --no-summary
	      Do not display summary at the end of scanning.

       --reload
	      Request clamd to reload virus database.

       --fdpass
	      Pass the file descriptor permissions to clamd. This is useful if clamd is running as a different user as it is faster than streaming
	      the file to clamd.  Only available if connected to clamd via local(unix) socket.

       --stream
	      Forces  file  streaming  to  clamd.  This  is generally not needed as clamdscan detects automatically if streaming is required. This
	      option only exists for debugging and testing purposes, in all other cases --fdpass is preferred.

EXAMPLES

       (0) To scan a one file:

	      clamdscan file

       (1) To scan a current working directory:

	      clamdscan

       (2) To scan all files in /home:

	      clamdscan /home

       (3) To scan a file when clamd is running as a different user:

	      clamdscan --fdpass ~/downloads

       (4) To scan from standard input:

	      clamdscan - < file_to_scan

	      cat file_to_scan | clamdscan -

RETURN CODES

       0 : No virus found.

       1 : Virus(es) found.

       2 : An error occured.
