+# clamd
+
+`clamd` is a portable Python module to use the ClamAV anti-virus engine on Windows, Linux, MacOSX and other platforms. It requires a running instance of the clamd daemon.
+
+### History
+
+This is a fork of `pyClamd` (v0.2.0) created by Philippe Lagadec and published on [his](http://www.decalage.info/en/python/pyclamd) website, which in turn is a slightly improved version of `pyClamd` (v0.1.1) created by Alexandre Norman and published on [his](http://xael.org/norman/python/pyclamd/) website.
+
+## Installation
+
+Make sure you have installed both `clamav` engine and `clamav-daemon`, for instance, you can install it on Ubuntu by running the following commands:
+
+```bash
+apt-get install clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam clamav-unofficial-sigs
+freshclam  # update the database
+systemctl start clamav-daemon
+```
+
+```bash
+pip install clamd
+```
+
+## Usage/Examples
+
+To use with a Unix socket:
+
+```python
+>>> import clamd
+>>> cd = clamd.ClamdUnixSocket()
+>>> cd.ping()
+'PONG'
+>>> cd.version()                             # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+'ClamAV ...
+>>> cd.reload()
+'RELOADING'
+```
+
+To scan a file:
+
+```python
+>>> open('/tmp/EICAR','wb').write(clamd.EICAR)
+>>> cd.scan('/tmp/EICAR')
+{'/tmp/EICAR': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature')}
+```
+
+To scan a stream:
+```python
+>>> from io import BytesIO
+>>> cd.instream(BytesIO(clamd.EICAR))
+{'stream': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature')}
+```
+`clamav` daemon runs under `clamav` user and might not be able to scan files owned by other users or root user, in this case you can use `fdscan` function which opens a file and then passes the file descriptor to `clamav` daemon:
+
+```python
+>>> open('/tmp/EICAR','wb').write(clamd.EICAR)
+>>> cd.fdscan('/tmp/EICAR')
+{'/tmp/EICAR': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature')}
+```
