15.4. Scanner and Daemon:
command line switches
A list of scanner command line switches and their
functions. The difference between command line switches
for the scanner and the daemon process.
The general format of the Scanner command line is:
./kavscanner [switch1] [switch2] [...] [switchN] [path] [filemasks],
where:
[switchN]
is the optional command line switch;
[path]
is the optional xBSD path;
[filemasks]
are the optional file masks defining xBSD files to be
checked for viruses. By default, the program checks all the
executable files.
The following command switches are available (the suffix [-] defines the
inverse meaning of the switch):
-MP[-]
checks plain mail files.
-MD[-]
checks mail databases.
-P[-]
skips the hard drive MBR check.
-B[-]
skips the check of boot sectors defined in the
Names
line of the profile.
#"
The sector check function under your operating system may be not
available.
