Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_check_mem, kav_shmem_check

The system failed to create a socket. Examine the system errno value to find out why. This is a rare error, and if you see it, something is wrong with your system.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_check_mem, kav_shmem_check.

Connection to KAVDaemon failed. Examine the system errno value to find out why. The most likely reason for this error is that KAVDaemon is not running, or the path to KAVDaemon socket (as set by kav_set_socketpath) is incorrect (in that case errno will be set to ENOENT).

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_check_mem, kav_shmem_check.

A check is already in progress in the given session context. This can only happen in a multi-threaded application when two threads call one of the checking functions in the same context concurrently.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

An error occured while sending the request ro KAVDaemon. Check the system errno value to find out what kind of error.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

The request to KAVDaemon was succesfully sent, but some error occurred while waiting for reply. Check the system errno value to find out what kind of error. Note that libkavclient waits for reply using the system select function.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

The request to KAVDaemon was succesfully sent, but no response was received from KAVDaemon. The amount of time that libkavclient waits before returning this error can be set by the kav_set_timeout function, and by default is 5 seconds.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

libkavclient started reading the reply from KAVDaemon, but some error occurred while reading. Check the system errno value to find out what kind of error.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

KAVDaemon was successfully contacted, but it failed to perform the requested check because it didn't find a valid key file. This means that you don't have a valid license to use KAVDaemon (remember, KAVDaemon is commercial software!). You should contact Kaspersky Lab.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

KAVDaemon was successfully contacted, but it failed to perform the requested check because it couldn't find its virus definition bases. Either something is wrong with your KAVDaemon configuration, or you need to run kavupdater to download the virus definition bases.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

KAVDaemon was successfully contacted, but it failed to perform the requested check because it detected internal integrity violation. Most probably this means that your KAVDaemon binary is corrupt. You need to reinstall it.

Applies kav_shmem_init, kav_check_mem.

This error means that the system function ftok failed. Most probably you passed an invalid keyfile parameter to kav_shmem_init, such as a non-existen or non-accessible file. If you encounter this error when calling kav_check_mem or when passing NULL for keyfile to kav_shmem_init, you have either run into a bug in libkavclient or your system is severely out of memory. Check the system errno value for additional information on why ftok failed.

Applies kav_shmem_init, kav_check_mem.

For some reason, libkavclient failed to create a temporary file, which is necessary to check memory regions. Examine the system errno value to find out why. If you encounter this error, you probably have run into a bug in libkavclient, or something is wrong with your system, such as /tmp directory is not writable.

Applies kav_shmem_init, kav_check_mem.

This error means that libkavclient failed to allocate a necessary amount of shared memory, which it needs to pass memory regions to KAVDaemon for checking. More technically, the system function shmget failed. Examine system errno value to find out why.

Applies kav_shmem_init, kav_check_mem.

This error means that libkavclient failed to attach to the shared memory segment it allocated in order to pass it to KAVDaemon for checking. More technically, the system function shmat failed. Examine system errno value to find out why. It must be either a bug in libkavclient, or your system is severely out of memory.

Applies to kav_shmem_check

This error means that kav_shmem_check is called in a session context, in which kav_shmem_init wasn't called (or the call failed). You may only call kav_shmem_check after kav_shmem_init.

Applies to kav_shmem_check.

This error means that kav_shmem_check was called with size larger than the size of the shared memory block previously created by kav_shmem_init. Check the size arguments of corresponding kav_shmem_init and kav_shmem_check calls - the latter must be less then or equal to the former.

Applies to kav_check_file, kav_check_files, kav_shmem_init, kav_shmem_check, kav_check_mem.

Your system failed to allocate memory for libkavclient. Most probably you are out of memory.
