--exclude-pattern=<spec>
Specifies what to exclude from scanning (a
comma separated list of PCRE- Perl-
compatible regular expressions, using
absolute paths). Example:
--exclude-pattern="^/tmp/TEST/"
Warning: Please take into account that
filenames are normalized before the pattern
match is applied. Therefore, parts of the
pathname may also trigger an unwanted
match if the expression is not written
carefully.
Note: When scanning symbolic links, the files
they point to are matched.
--follow-symlink[=yes|no]
Follows symbolic links. Default: yes.
--help
Prints usage information about avscan
(abbreviation: -h or -?)
--heur-level=<int>
Specifies the Win32 file heuristics level.
Available values are 0 (off), 1 (low), 2
(medium) and 3 (high - could result in false
alerts!). Not activated by default.
--heur-macro[=<yes|no>]
Enables or disables macro heuristics.
--log-file=<filename>
Specifies the file for log messages.
--max-runtime=<seconds>
This option can be invoked for normal or
scheduled scanning. It defines a soft
overall time limit. If the time limit is
exceeded, the job will stop after completing
the currently pending subtask (scan/
database action).
--query-results
In scheduler mode, avscan will query the
database instead of scanning files.
Note: Option must not be invoked at the same
time as --scan-scheduled-files.
--query-alerts
In scheduler mode, avscan queries the
database and shows only files that have
triggered an alert.
Note: Option must not be invoked at the same
time as --scan-scheduled-files.
--query-warnings
In scheduler mode, avscan queries the
database and shows only files that have
triggered a warning.
Note: Option must not be invoked at the same
time as --scan-scheduled-files.
