Does not affect 'debug' messages. --no-summary Disable summary at end of scanning --infected -i Only print infected files --suppress-ok-results -o Skip printing OK files --bell Sound bell on virus detection --tempdir=DIRECTORY Create temporary files in DIRECTORY --leave-temps[=yes/no(*)] Do not remove temporary files --force-to-disk[=yes/no(*)] Create temporary files for nested file scans that would otherwise be in-memory only --gen-json[=yes/no(*)] Generate JSON metadata for the scanned file(s).

A JSON file will dropped to the temp directory if --leave-temps is enabled. --database=FILE/DIR -d FILE/DIR Load virus database from FILE or load all supported db files from DIR --official-db-only[=yes/no(*)] Only load official signatures --fail-if-cvd-older-than=days Return with a nonzero error code if virus database outdated. --log=FILE -l FILE Save scan report to FILE --recursive[=yes/no(*)] -r Scan subdirectories recursively --allmatch[=yes/no(*)] -z Continue scanning within file after finding a match --cross-fs[=yes(*)/no] Scan files and directories on other filesystems --follow-dir-symlinks[=0/1(*)/2] Follow directory symlinks (0 = never, 1 = direct, 2 = always) --follow-file-symlinks[=0/1(*)/2] Follow file symlinks (0 = never, 1 = direct, 2 = always) --file-list=FILE -f FILE Scan files from FILE --remove[=yes/no(*)] Remove infected files. Be careful! --move=DIRECTORY Move infected files into DIRECTORY --copy=DIRECTORY Copy infected files into DIRECTORY --exclude=REGEX Don't scan file names matching REGEX --exclude-dir=REGEX Don't scan directories matching REGEX --include=REGEX Only scan file names matching REGEX --include-dir=REGEX Only scan directories matching REGEX --bytecode[=yes(*)/no] Load bytecode from the database --bytecode-unsigned[=yes/no(*)] Load unsigned bytecode **Caution**: You should NEVER run bytecode signatures from untrusted sources. Doing so may result in arbitrary code execution. --bytecode-timeout=N Set bytecode timeout (in milliseconds) --statistics[=none(*)/bytecode/pcre] Collect and print execution statistics --detect-pua[=yes/no(*)] Detect Possibly Unwanted Applications --exclude-pua=CAT Skip PUA sigs of category CAT --include-pua=CAT Load PUA sigs of category CAT --detect-structured[=yes/no(*)] Detect structured data (SSN, Credit Card) --structured-ssn-format=X SSN format (0=normal,1=stripped,2=both) --structured-ssn-count=N Min SSN count to generate a detect --structured-cc-count=N Min CC count to generate a detect --structured-cc-mode=X CC mode (0=credit debit and private label, 1=credit cards only --scan-mail[=yes(*)/no] Scan mail files --phishing-sigs[=yes(*)/no] Enable email signature-based phishing detection --phishing-scan-urls[=yes(*)/no] Enable URL signature-based phishing detection --heuristic-alerts[=yes(*)/no] Heuristic alerts --heuristic-scan-precedence[=yes/no(*)] Stop scanning as soon as a heuristic match is found --normalize[=yes(*)/no] Normalize html, script, and text files.

Pass in - as the filename for stdin. (*) Default scan settings (**) Certain files (e.g. documents, archives, etc.) may in turn contain other files inside. The above options ensure safe processing of this kind of data.
