clamdscan - scan files and directories for viruses using Clam AntiVirus Daemon

clamdscan [options] [file/directory]

clamdscan is a simple 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.
