## Clamdscan

`clamdscan` is a simple `clamd` client. In many cases you can use it as a `clamscan` replacement but you must remember that:

- it only depends on `clamd`
- although it accepts the same command line options as `clamscan` most of them are ignored because they must be enabled directly in `clamd`, i.e. `clamd.conf`
- scanned files must be accessible for `clamd`
- it can't use external unpackers
