clamd - an anti-virus daemon


SYNOPSIS

       clamd [options]


DESCRIPTION

       The daemon listens for incoming connections on Unix or TCP
       socket and scans files or directories on  demand.  It's  a
       part  of the Clam AntiVirus package. It reads its configu-
       ration information from a  clamd.conf  file.  It  provides
       on-access scanning feature (clamuko) under Linux.


COMMANDS
