### Archives and compressed files

The library has a built-in support for the following formats:

- Zip
- RAR (2.0)
- Tar
- Gzip
- Bzip2
- MS OLE2
- MS Cabinet Files
- MS CHM (Compiled HTML)
- MS SZDD compression format
- UPX (all versions)
- FSG (1.3, 1.31, 1.33, 2.0)
- Petite (2.x)

Due to license issues, support for RAR 3.0 archives is currently not available in libclamav (such archives will trigger the `RAR module failure.` error message). You can scan them with the help of external unpackers in `clamscan`, though.

    	$ clamscan --unrar clam-error.rar
