# node-clam-engine
Clam Engine provides robust native bindings to the clamav library. It allows you to scan files for viruses in-process, without requiring a running instance of `clamd`, or imposing the startup time of the `clamscan` command.
## Installation
### Dependencies
Clam Engine requires `libclamav` to be present.
- Ubuntu: `apt-get install libclamav-dev clamav-freshclam`
- Homebew (OS X): `brew install clamav`
### Via NPM
Just run `npm install clam-engine`. Clam Engine supports Node.js 0.10, 0.11 and 0.12 as well as io.js. If something doesn't work for you using one of those runtimes, please file a bug.
## Usage
### Updating Signatures
In order for Clam Engine to work, you need to update the clamav virus signatures by running the `freshclam` command. You will need to configure it firsy.
### Example
var clam = require('clam-engine');
clam.createEngine(function (err, engine) {
if (err) {
return console.log('Error', err);
}
engine.scanFile('eicar.com', function (err, virus) {
if (err) {
return console.log('Error', err);
}
if (virus) {
return console.log('Virus', virus);
}
console.log('Clean');
});
});
### API
- #### `clam.createEngine(cb)`
Creates and initialises a new engine. The callback is called with `(err, engine)`.
- #### `engine.version`
Property that contains the version of the underlying clamav engine.
- #### `engine.signatures`
Propery that indicates the number of signatures loaded.
- #### `engine.scanFile(filename, cb)`
Scans a file for a virus. The callback is called with `(err, virus)`. `virus` is null if the file is clean.
