rust-clamav

rust-clamav is a safe library for interacting with libclamav from Rust. The low-level C API is wrapped in idomatic and safe Rust code.

Documentation

• crates.io documentation

bindgen is not used to generate src/ffi.rs as the libclamav interface is relatively straight forward. This may change in future.

Requirements

rust-clamav can be tested locally or via Docker.

Docker

docker build -t rust-clamav . 
docker run -it rust-clamav cargo test

Locally

Rust

We currently target the latest stable release of Rust (1.26), and Cargo (1.26).

clippy is used for linting, install with: cargo +nightly install clippy

Linux

libclamav.so.7 should be available on the PATH at runtime (or LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it lives somewhere non-standard).

Debian/Ubuntu minimal example:

$ sudo apt install libclamav7

Freshclam

Freshclam can optionally be installed to keep the defintions in /var/lib/clamav up to date:

$ sudo apt install clamav-freshclam
