<I>clamd</I> uses uniformed 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>
It always closes the connection when first virus is found. In the
case of archives, the output is exactly the same like with normal
files:
<PRE>
SCAN /home/zolw/Clam/test/test2.zip
/home/zolw/Clam/test/test2.zip: ClamAV-Test-Signature FOUND
</PRE>
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 (only help is written to <B>stdout</B> by default) to <B>stderr</B>. In some situations
you may want to redirect it to <B>stdout</B> with <I>-stdout</I>.
<I>stdout</I> in contrast to <I>stderr</I> is buffered, that's why
<I>clamscan</I> flushes this buffer after each message, to prevent
the creation of trashes on the output. During scanning it writes something
like this:
<PRE>
/TEST/test: OK
/TEST/Makefile: OK
/TEST/getopt.c: OK
/TEST/virfile: Phantom #1 FOUND
</PRE>
When a virus is found, its name is printed between <I>filename:</I> and
<I>FOUND</I>.
<P>
As you can see, zip files inside the zip file were scanned. If a virus is
found in the (compressed) archive, it's noticed with
<I>Infected Archive</I>.
Infected archives are not counted as infected files - just files in them
are. After scanning you should see <I>Scan summary</I> (it may be disabled
with <I>-disable-summary</I>. It looks like:
