Clam daemon
</H2>
<I>clamd</I> is a fully multi-threaded daemon, based on <I>libclamav</I>.
It's able to work in one of the two modes, using:
<UL>
<LI>Unix (local) sockets
</LI>
<LI>TCP sockets
</LI>
</UL>
The daemon is configured by the <I>clamav.conf</I> file. You will find
a description of all the options in the <B>clamav.conf(5)</B> manual.
<I>clamd</I> recognizes the following commands:
<UL>
<LI><B>PING</B>
<BR>
Check server's state. It should reply with "PONG".
</LI>
<LI><B>VERSION</B>
<BR>
Print the version information.
</LI>
<LI><B>RELOAD</B>
<BR>
Reload the databases.
</LI>
<LI><B>QUIT</B>
<BR>
Perform a clean exit.
</LI>
<LI><B>SCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support. A
full path is required.
</LI>
<LI><B>RAWSCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive support
disabled. A full path is required.
</LI>
<LI><B>CONTSCAN file/directory</B>
Scan a file or directory (recursively) with archive
support enabled and continue scanning even when
virus was found. A full path is required.
</LI>
</UL>
Internal threads (except clamuko) are ignoring all external signals.
The main thread handles <I>SIGTERM</I> and <I>SIGINT</I> signals
and performs a proper exit when one of them is caught.
