Rust ClamAV Client

A simple ClamAV client to stream files to clamd for antivirus scanning.

Please note: The functions ping_socket and scan_socket are only available on Unix platforms.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] clamav-client = "0.1.3"

Usage

Ensure ClamD is running by pinging the server for a response:

```rust let clamdhostaddress = "localhost:3310";

let clamdavailable = match clamavclient::pingtcp(clamdhostaddress) { Ok(pingresponse) => pingresponse == b"PONG\0", Err() => false, };

if !clamdavailable { println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamdhost_address); return; } ```

Scan a file for detections:

rust let file_path = "virus.txt"; let scan_response = clamav_client::scan_tcp(file_path, clamd_host_address, None).unwrap(); let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_response).unwrap(); if file_clean { println!("No virus found in {}", file_path); } else { println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path); }

Scan a buffer from memory:

```rust let buffer = "X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*" .bytes() .collect::>();

let scanresponse = clamavclient::scanbuffertcp(buffer, clamdhostaddress, None).unwrap(); let fileclean = clamavclient::clean(&scanresponse).unwrap(); assert!(!fileclean); ```
