The ClamAV antivirus team provide a very easy interface for integrating the
clamddaemon into your own programs. It is sockets-based instead of API based, so you might need to write some convenience wrappers to make it look “natural” in your code, but the end result is they do not need to maintain a dozen or more language bindings.
