NAME

       clamonacc - an anti-virus on-access scanning daemon and clamd client

SYNOPSIS

       clamd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  clamonacc  daemon  registers  for  file  access notifications from the Linux kernel and in response,
       submits scans to the clamd scanning daemon for a verdict. On-Access is only available on  Linux  systems.
       On  Linux,  On-Access  requires a kernel version >= 3.8. This is because it leverages a kernel api called
       fanotify to block processes from attempting to access malicious files. This prevention occurs in  kernel-
       space, and thus offers stronger protection than a purely user-space solution.

OPTIONS

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

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

       -v, --verbose
              Be verbose.

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

       -F, --foreground
              Run in foreground; do not daemonize.

       -w FILE, --watch-list=FILE
              Watch directories from FILE.

       -e FILE, --exclude-list=FILE
              Exclude directories from FILE.

       -p A[:I], --ping A[:I]
              Ping clamd up to [A] times at optional interval [I] until it responds.

       -w, --wait
              Wait  up  to  30 seconds for clamd to start. Optionally use alongside ping to set attempts [A] and
              interval [I] to check clamd.

       --remove
              Remove infected files. Be careful.

       --move=DIRECTORY
              Move infected files into DIRECTORY.

       --copy=DIRECTORY
              Copy infected files into DIRECTORY.

       -c FILE, --config-file=FILE
              Read configuration from FILE.

       --allmatch
              Continue scanning within file after finding a match.

       --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.

SIGNALS

       ClamOnAcc recognizes the following signals:

       SIGHUP Reopen the logfile.

       SIGUSR2
              Reload the signature databases.

       SIGTERM
