# Rust ClamAV Client
A simple ClamAV client for sending files, in-memory data, and data streams to `clamd` for antivirus scanning. It provides both a synchronous API and asynchronous functions compatible with async-std, smol, and Tokio.
Check out the [examples](#examples) below, the [integration tests](tests/clamav_client.rs), or the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/clamav-client) to learn how to use this library.
The integration tests run against a lightweight ClamAV daemon that's available as a separate [GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/clamav-daemon).

## Installation
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
clamav-client = "2.2.0"
```
To use the `async` functions in `clamav_client::tokio`, add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
clamav-client = { version = "2.2.0", features = ["tokio"] }
```
To scan Tokio streams, enable the `tokio-stream` feature and add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
clamav-client = { version = "2.2.0", features = ["tokio-stream"] }
```
Support for `smol` is available since version 2.1.0 by enabling the `smol` feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
clamav-client = { version = "2.2.0", features = ["smol"] }
```
Support for `async-std` is still available, but `async-std` itself has been discontinued in favor of `smol`. You can enable it with the `async-std` feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
clamav-client = { version = "2.2.0", features = ["async-std"] }
```
## Migrations
### Migrate to 1.x
The `*_socket` and `*_tcp` functions were deprecated in version 0.5.0 and have been removed in version 1.0.0.
### Migrate to 0.5.x
The `*_socket` and `*_tcp` functions have been deprecated in favor of more general functions with the same name, but without the suffixes. These updated functions, such as `ping`, `scan_buffer`, and `scan_file`, now have the connection type (TCP or Unix socket) as a parameter, effectively replacing the `host_address` and `socket_path` parameters.
For example,
```rust,ignore
let clamd_host_address = "localhost:3310";
let result = clamav_client::scan_file_tcp("README.md", clamd_host_address, None);
assert!(result.is_ok());
```
becomes:
```rust
let clamd_tcp = clamav_client::Tcp{ host_address: "localhost:3310" };
let result = clamav_client::scan_file("README.md", clamd_tcp, None);
assert!(result.is_ok());
```
## Examples
### Usage
```rust
let clamd_tcp = clamav_client::Tcp{ host_address: "localhost:3310" };
// Ping clamd to make sure the server is available and accepting TCP connections
let clamd_available = match clamav_client::ping(clamd_tcp) {
Ok(ping_response) => ping_response == clamav_client::PONG,
Err(_) => false,
};
if !clamd_available {
println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamd_tcp.host_address);
return;
}
assert!(clamd_available);
// Scan file for viruses
let file_path = "tests/data/eicar.txt";
let scan_file_response = clamav_client::scan_file(file_path, clamd_tcp, None).unwrap();
let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_file_response).unwrap();
if file_clean {
println!("No virus found in {}", file_path);
} else {
println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path);
}
assert!(!file_clean);
// Scan in-memory data for viruses
let buffer = br#"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"#;
let scan_buffer_response = clamav_client::scan_buffer(buffer, clamd_tcp, None).unwrap();
let data_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_buffer_response).unwrap();
if data_clean {
println!("No virus found");
} else {
println!("The data is infected!");
}
assert!(!data_clean);
```
### Usage - Async with `tokio`
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "tokio-stream")]
tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread().enable_all().build().unwrap().block_on(async {
let clamd_tcp = clamav_client::tokio::Tcp{ host_address: "localhost:3310" };
// Ping clamd asynchronously and await the result
let clamd_available = match clamav_client::tokio::ping(clamd_tcp).await {
Ok(ping_response) => ping_response == clamav_client::PONG,
Err(_) => false,
};
if !clamd_available {
println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamd_tcp.host_address);
return;
}
assert!(clamd_available);
let file_path = "tests/data/eicar.txt";
let buffer = br#"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"#;
let file = tokio::fs::File::open(file_path).await.unwrap();
let stream = tokio_util::io::ReaderStream::new(file);
// Concurrently scan a file, a data buffer, and a file stream for viruses
let (scan_file_result, scan_buffer_result, scan_stream_result) = tokio::join!(
clamav_client::tokio::scan_file(file_path, clamd_tcp, None),
clamav_client::tokio::scan_buffer(buffer, clamd_tcp, None),
clamav_client::tokio::scan_stream(stream, clamd_tcp, None)
);
let scan_file_response = scan_file_result.unwrap();
let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_file_response).unwrap();
if file_clean {
println!("No virus found in {}", file_path);
} else {
println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path);
}
assert!(!file_clean);
let scan_buffer_response = scan_buffer_result.unwrap();
let data_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_buffer_response).unwrap();
if data_clean {
println!("No virus found");
} else {
println!("The data buffer is infected!");
}
assert!(!data_clean);
let scan_stream_response = scan_stream_result.unwrap();
let stream_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_stream_response).unwrap();
if stream_clean {
println!("No virus found");
} else {
println!("The file stream is infected!");
}
assert!(!stream_clean);
})
```
### Usage - Async with `smol`
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "smol")]
smol::block_on(async {
let clamd_tcp = clamav_client::smol::Tcp{ host_address: "localhost:3310" };
// Ping clamd asynchronously and await the result
let clamd_available = match clamav_client::smol::ping(clamd_tcp).await {
Ok(ping_response) => ping_response == clamav_client::PONG,
Err(_) => false,
};
if !clamd_available {
println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamd_tcp.host_address);
return;
}
assert!(clamd_available);
// Scan a file for viruses
let file_path = "tests/data/eicar.txt";
let scan_file_result = clamav_client::smol::scan_file(file_path, clamd_tcp, None).await;
let scan_file_response = scan_file_result.unwrap();
let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_file_response).unwrap();
if file_clean {
println!("No virus found in {}", file_path);
} else {
println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path);
}
assert!(!file_clean);
})
```
### Usage - Async with `async-std`
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "async-std")]
async_std::task::block_on(async {
let clamd_tcp = clamav_client::async_std::Tcp{ host_address: "localhost:3310" };
// Ping clamd asynchronously and await the result
let clamd_available = match clamav_client::async_std::ping(clamd_tcp).await {
Ok(ping_response) => ping_response == clamav_client::PONG,
Err(_) => false,
};
if !clamd_available {
println!("Cannot ping clamd at {}", clamd_tcp.host_address);
return;
}
assert!(clamd_available);
// Scan a file for viruses
let file_path = "tests/data/eicar.txt";
let scan_file_result = clamav_client::async_std::scan_file(file_path, clamd_tcp, None).await;
let scan_file_response = scan_file_result.unwrap();
let file_clean = clamav_client::clean(&scan_file_response).unwrap();
if file_clean {
println!("No virus found in {}", file_path);
} else {
println!("The file {} is infected!", file_path);
}
assert!(!file_clean);
})
```

## Development
### Testing locally
For the tests to pass, you should start `clamd` as follows:
`clamd -F --config-file=clamd/clamd.conf`
and then run `cargo test --all-features` to cover all tests.
It doesn't really matter how you start `clamd`, as long as the options from [clamd.conf](clamd/clamd.conf) are the same for your configuration.
