## Clamdscan

`clamdscan` is a simple `clamd` client. In many cases you can use it as a `clamscan` replacement however 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`
- in TCP mode scanned files must be accessible for `clamd`, if you enabled LocalSocket in clamd.conf then clamdscan will try to workaround this limitation by using FILDES
