Scanning on-demand with AntiVir Command Line Scanner

To scan on-demand, using certain parameters:

avscan [option] [directory [...]]

If you have not specified any directory, it scans only the current directory.

If you want to scan certain files in a directory, the syntax is:

avscan [option] [directory][filename]

You can use the following options for the Command Line Scanner, in various 
combinations. All non-option strings are considered files or directories to be scanned (by 
default, no recursion beyond the first level of the directory structure).

--temp-dir=<dir>

Defines the absolute path of the temporary 
directory

--version

Prints version information.

--alert-action=<spec>

Sets the action to be taken, when detecting 
viruses or unwanted programs. 

See the actions’ list at 

--alert-action=quarantine

--archive-max-count=<N>

Limits the number of files packed in 
archive or mailbox. The CLS does not scan 
beyond the configured limits.

--archive-max-ratio=<N>

Limits the archive or mailbox ratio. The 
CLS does not scan beyond the configured 
limits.

--archive-max-recursion=<N>

Limits the archive or mailbox recursion. 
The CLS does not scan beyond the 
configured limits.

--archive-max-size=<N>

Limits the archive or mailbox size. The CLS 
does not scan beyond the configured 
limits.

--batch

Enables "batch mode": the on-demand 
scanner does not interact with the user on 
the terminal; instead, it always takes the 
configured alert action.

--config

Prints a sample configuration.

-C <configuration-file>

Use a specific configuration file instead of 
the default one.
