rust-clamav

Bindings for libclamav in Rust.

Overview

rust-clamav is a safe library for interacting with libclamav from Rust. The low-level C API is wrapped in idomatic and safe Rust code.

https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen is not used to generate src/ffi.rs as the libclamav interface is relatively straight forward. This may change in future.

We currently target the latest stable release of Rust (1.26), and Cargo (1.26).

libclamav.so.7 should be available on the PATH at runtime (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it lives somewhere non-standard).

Debian/Ubuntu minimal example:

$ sudo apt install libclamav7

Freshclam can optionally be installed to keep the defintions in /var/lib/clamav up to date:

$ sudo apt install clamav-freshclam
