+> ClamAV antivirus scanning for Node.js — clean, typed, zero dependencies.
 
-# pompelmi v1.0.0
+pompelmi is a minimal Node.js wrapper around ClamAV that exposes async functions for scanning files, buffers, streams, and directories for malware. It returns typed Symbol verdicts and has zero runtime dependencies.
 
-## Purpose
+## API
 
-Minimal Node.js wrapper around the `clamscan` CLI binary. Scans a file and resolves to one of three plain strings: `"Clean"`, `"Malicious"`, or `"ScanError"`. No daemons, no cloud, no native bindings, no stdout parsing.
+- `scan(filePath, [options])` — scan a file by path
+- `scanBuffer(buffer, [options])` — scan an in-memory Buffer
+- `scanStream(stream, [options])` — scan a Readable stream
+- `scanDirectory(dirPath, [options])` — recursively scan a directory
 
-## Architecture
+All functions return `Promise<symbol>` resolving to one of:
+- `Verdict.Clean` — no threats found
+- `Verdict.Malicious` — known malware signature matched
+- `Verdict.ScanError` — scan failed, treat as untrusted
 
-```
-src/
-  index.js               — public entry point, re-exports { scan }
-  ClamAVScanner.js       — core scan() implementation (spawns clamscan)
-  ClamAVInstaller.js     — installs ClamAV via platform package manager
-  ClamAVDatabaseUpdater.js — runs freshclam to fetch virus definitions
-  InstallerCommand.js    — maps process.platform → [cmd, args] for install/update
-  config.js              — frozen config: INSTALLER_COMMANDS, UPDATER_COMMANDS, DB_PATHS, SCAN_RESULTS
-  constants.js           — exports { PLATFORM } (= process.platform)
-```
+Options: `{ host?: string, port?: number, timeout?: number }`
+- Local mode: spawns `clamscan`, maps exit codes to verdicts
+- TCP mode: streams to clamd via INSTREAM protocol (set `host`)
 
-- Module system: **CommonJS** (`"type": "commonjs"`)
-- Runtime dependency: **cross-spawn ^7** (portable child process spawning)
-- Requires `clamscan` binary in PATH on the host system
+## Installation
 
-## API Surface
+npm install pompelmi
 
-### Public (exported from `src/index.js`)
+ClamAV must be installed separately: `brew install clamav && freshclam`
 
-#### `scan(filePath: string): Promise<"Clean" | "Malicious" | "ScanError">`
+## Links
 
-Spawns `clamscan --no-summary <filePath>` and maps the exit code.
-
-| Exit code | Resolves to   |
-|:---------:|---------------|
-| 0         | `"Clean"`     |
-| 1         | `"Malicious"` |
-| 2         | `"ScanError"` |
-
-Rejects (`Error`) on:
-- `filePath` is not a string → `"filePath must be a string"`
-- File does not exist → `"File not found: <path>"`
-- `clamscan` not in PATH → OS-level `ENOENT`
-- Unknown exit code → `"Unexpected exit code: N"`
-- Process killed by signal → `"Process killed by signal: <SIG>"`
-
-### Internal utilities (not re-exported from index.js)
-
-#### `ClamAVInstaller(): Promise<string>`
-Installs ClamAV using the native package manager for `process.platform`. No-ops (resolves) if `clamscan` is already in PATH.
-
-| Platform | Command |
-|----------|---------|
-| darwin   | `brew install clamav` |
-| linux    | `sudo apt-get install -y clamav clamav-daemon` |
-| win32    | `choco install clamav -y` |
-
-#### `updateClamAVDatabase(): Promise<string>`
-Runs `freshclam` to download virus definitions. No-ops (resolves) if `main.cvd` is already present at the platform DB path.
-
-| Platform | DB path |
-|----------|---------|
-| darwin   | `/usr/local/share/clamav/main.cvd` |
-| linux    | `/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd` |
-| win32    | `C:\ProgramData\ClamAV\main.cvd` |
-
-Both utilities resolve with a status message string on success/skip; reject with `Error` on non-zero exit.
-
-## Usage
-
-```js
-const pompelmi = require('pompelmi');
-
-// Minimal
-const result = await pompelmi.scan('/absolute/path/to/file.zip');
-// result === "Clean" | "Malicious" | "ScanError"
-
-// Full error handling
-async function safeScan(filePath) {
-  try {
-    const result = await pompelmi.scan(filePath);
-    if (result === 'ScanError') return null; // treat as untrusted
-    return result; // "Clean" or "Malicious"
-  } catch (err) {
-    // clamscan missing, file not found, killed process, etc.
-    console.error(err.message);
-    return null;
-  }
-}
-```
-
-```js
-// Setup on a fresh machine (internal utilities)
-const { ClamAVInstaller } = require('./src/ClamAVInstaller');
-const { updateClamAVDatabase } = require('./src/ClamAVDatabaseUpdater');
-
-await ClamAVInstaller();
-await updateClamAVDatabase();
-// Now pompelmi.scan() is ready to use
-```
-
-## Key Constraints
-
-- `filePath` must pass `fs.existsSync` before spawning — pre-validate or use `path.resolve`.
-- `ScanError` means the scan could not complete, not that the file is clean. Always treat it as untrusted.
-- `ClamAVInstaller` and `updateClamAVDatabase` are not exported from `src/index.js`; require them directly from their source files if needed.
-- No configuration object or options parameter exists on any function in this version.

+`scanStream(stream, [options])` — scan any Node.js Readable stream directly without writing to disk.
+
+Useful when the file never passes through the local filesystem: S3 `getObject`, HTTP responses, piped data, or any other streaming source. In TCP mode the stream is piped directly to clamd via the INSTREAM protocol — zero disk I/O. In local mode a temp file is created, scanned, and deleted automatically in a `finally` block regardless of outcome.
+
+```js
+const { scanStream, Verdict } = require('pompelmi');
+const { S3Client, GetObjectCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-s3');
+
+const s3 = new S3Client({ region: 'us-east-1' });
+
+const response = await s3.send(new GetObjectCommand({ Bucket: 'my-bucket', Key: 'upload.zip' }));
+const result = await scanStream(response.Body, {
+  host: '127.0.0.1',
+  port: 3310,
+});
+
+if (result === Verdict.Malicious) throw new Error('Malware detected — upload rejected.');
+if (result === Verdict.ScanError) console.warn('Scan incomplete — treat stream as untrusted.');
+```
+
+The function accepts any `stream.Readable` and returns the same `Verdict.Clean`, `Verdict.Malicious`, or `Verdict.ScanError` Symbols as `scan()`. Passing a non-Readable throws `stream must be a Readable`.

+### `scanDirectory(dirPath, [options])`
+
+Recursively scan every file in a directory in a single call.
+
+Returns `{ clean: string[], malicious: string[], errors: string[] }` — three arrays of absolute file paths. Per-file scan failures are caught and collected into `errors`; the function never throws because of an individual file. Useful for batch processing an uploads folder, auditing a directory before serving its contents, or building a scheduled scan job.
+
+```js
+const fs = require('fs');
+const { scanDirectory } = require('pompelmi');
+
+const results = await scanDirectory('/uploads', {
+  host: '127.0.0.1',
+  port: 3310,
+});
+
+console.log('Clean:', results.clean);
+console.log('Malicious:', results.malicious);

+
+// Auto-delete infected files
+results.malicious.forEach((filePath) => {
+  fs.unlinkSync(filePath);
+  console.warn('Deleted malicious file:', filePath);
+});
+```
+
+Passing a non-string throws `dirPath must be a string`; a path that does not exist throws `Directory not found: <path>`.
