## clamd

Before you start using the daemon you have to edit the configuration file (in other case `clamd` won't run):

    	$ clamd
    	ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/clamd.conf.

This shows the location of the default configuration file. The format and options of this file are fully described in the clamd.conf(5) manual. The config file is well commented and configuration should be straightforward.
