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.

       SIGUSR2
