Getting started
Scanning
Scan a file and prints its output:
import asyncio
from aioavast import Avast
@asyncio.coroutine
def scan(item):
av = Avast()
yield from av.connect()
return (yield from av.scan(item))
if __name__ == '__main__':
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
results = loop.run_until_complete(scan('/bin/ls'))
print(results)
You can check an url too:
return (yield from av.checkurl('http://python.org'))
Exclude items
There is also a possibility to exclude certain files from being scanned.
import asyncio
from aioavast import Avast
@asyncio.coroutine
def dont_scan(item):
av = Avast()
yield from av.connect()
yield from av.exclude(item)
return (yield from av.scan(item))
if __name__ == '__main__':
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
results = loop.run_until_complete(scan('/bin/ls'))
print(results)
You can retrieve excluded items by:
excluded = yield from av.exclude()
Other methods
You could modify Flags and Packs too.
flags = yield from av.flags()
yield from av.flags("-allfiles")
packs = yield from av.pack()
yield from av.flags("-ole")
