Go bindings for the ClamAV antivirus library (http://clamav.net)

This is a thin wrapper around the ClamAV antivirus library. The code includes a small scanner as an example in the avclient directory.

To learn more about ClamAV and to install antivirus databases see http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/.

To build make sure the C compiler can see the libclamav shared library, if not you may have to specify it as LDFLAGS: -L/path/to/dylib in the CGo header of each file importing "C". Alternatively, if you have compiled ClamAV in a non-standard directory you can use the following arguments to the go tool:

CGO_CFLAGS=-I/path/to/include CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/lib go install

For example, on Mountain Lion, after compiling ClamAV by hand, the library gets installed in /usr/local/lib/x86_64. The following command then works to compile the wrappers:

CGO_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib/x86_64 go install

Run go build and, if you have copied the virus files from ClamAV's test/ subdirectory, you can run go test. Run go test -test.bench=Bench to run the benchmarks.

The avclient directory contains a simple filesystem scanner. To compile it run go build in that directory.
