NAME
sigtool - signature and database management tool SYNOPSIS
sigtool [options] DESCRIPTION
sigtool can be used to generate MD5 checksums, convert data into hexadecimal format, list virus signatures and build/unpack/test/verify CVD databases and update scripts. OPTIONS
-h, --help Output help information and exit. -V, --version Print version number and exit. --quiet Be quiet - output only error messages. --stdout Write all messages to stdout. --hex-dump Read data from stdin and write hex string to stdout. --md5 [FILES] Generate MD5 checksum from stdin or MD5 sigs for FILES. --mdb [FILES] Generate .mdb signatures for FILES. --html-normalise=FILE Create normalised HTML files comment.html, nocomment.html, and script.html in current working directory. --utf16-decode=FILE Decode UTF16 encoded data. --vba=FILE Extract VBA/Word6 macros from given MS Office document. --vba-hex=FILE Extract Word6 macros from given MS Office document and display the corresponding hex values. -i, --info Print a CVD information and verify MD5 and a digital signature. -b, --build Build a CVD file. -s, --server is required. --server ClamAV Signing Service address (for virus database maintainers only). --unpack FILE, -u FILE Unpack FILE (CVD) to a current directory. --unpack-current Unpack a local CVD file (main or daily) to current directory. --diff=OLD NEW, -d OLD NEW Create a diff file for OLD and NEW CVDs/INCDIRs. --run-cdiff=FILE, -r FILE Execute update script FILE in current directory. --verify-cdiff=FILE, -r FILE Verify DIFF against CVD/INCDIR. -l[FILE], --list-sigs[=FILE] List all signature names from the local database directory (default) or from FILE. -fREGEX, --find-sigs=REGEX Find and display signatures from the local database directory which match the given REGEX. The whole signature body (name, hex string, etc.) is checked. -fREGEX, --decode-sigs=REGEX Decode signatures read from the standard input (eg. piped from --find-sigs) -fREGEX, --test-sigs=DATABASE TARGET_FILE Test all signatures from DATABASE against TARGET_FILE. EXAMPLES
Generate hex string from testfile and save it to testfile.hex: cat testfile | sigtool --hex-dump > testfile.hex CREDITS

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. CREDITS
