Producing reports
The program might take some time to complete a scan, particularly over many
directories and files. However, the scanner can keep you informed of its progress, any
viruses it finds, and its response to them.
The program displays this information on your screen if you add the --summary or
--verbose option to the command line. To learn more about each option, see
Response options on page 25.
The --verbose option tells you which files the program is examining.
When the scan finishes, the --summary option identifies the following:
� How many files were scanned.
� How many files were cleaned.
� How many files were not scanned.
� How many infected files were found.
Example
In the report below, both the --summary and --verbose options were used for
scanning files in the /usr/data directory.
$ uvscan --summary --verbose /usr/data
Scanning /usr/data/*
Scanning file /usr/data/command.com
Scanning file /usr/data/grep.com
Summary report on /usr/data/*
File(s)
Total files: ........... 2
Clean: ................. 2
Not scanned: ........... 0
Possibly Infected: ..... 0
To determine the time taken for the scan, you may use the UNIX time command.
