command line interface of endpoint protection

Hi,

my company decided to use symantec endpoint protection [Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP)12.1.2 Linux client (Corporate Edition)] as their virus scanning solution on our linux servers. To integrate this to my application, I need to use a command line interface, e.g. like:

• store a file in some folder
• start endpoint protection to scan the file (or all files in that folder) for viruses
• get the result (an error code and/or more details from analyzing a log file, ...)
• do some action in the calling application (send an email, ...)

my questions therefore:

• does "SEP 12.1.2 Linux Client" have a command line interface (to scan a specific file or folder on demand)?
• where do I find documentation?
• if no CLI: is there an alternative to scan a specific file and get the results? (infected / ok / ...)

Thanks and best regards,

Matthias
