How to run ESET NOD32 with command line parameters?

The ESET NOD32 scanner can be executed in four ways:

From the main window of the ESET NOD32 Control Center
From the desktop (by clicking the ESET NOD32 icon)
Automatically, as a scheduled task
Automatically or manually by command line execution

When running the scanner from the command line, a number of parameters and switches can be used to specify the various options.

Scanning a particular file or directory:

If you want to scan a directory, you can go to "Start" -> "Run", and then type:
"c:program fileseset od32.exe" "c:folder_want_to_scan"

If you want to scan a file, it is similar, just go to "Start" -> "Run", and then type:
"c:program fileseset od32.exe" "c: oolsfile_want_to_scan.exe"

The parameters and their effects:

Many parameters are enabled or disabled with a plus(+) or minus (-) sign. For example, to enable the scanner self-check use “/selfcheck+” , to disable it, use “/selfcheck-”.

General

/help Display the list of program switches
/selfcheck+ (-) Self-test enable (disable)
/expire+ (-) Enable (disable) the program expiration notice
/subdir+ (-) Enable (disable) the sub-directories scanning
/multi+ (-) Multiple diskette scanning enable (disable)
/sound+ (-) Sound warning enable (disable)
/list+ Create the list of all tested objects in the Log
/list- Include in the Log only the objects infected
/break+ (-) Enable (disable) testing intermission
/scroll+ (-) Enable (disable) Log scrolling
/quit+ (-) Quit/do not quit the program after scanning

Detection

/pattern+ (-) Enable (disable) testing using virus signatures
/heur+ (-) Enable (disable) heuristic analysis
/scanfile+ (-) Enable (disable) scanning of files
/scanboot+ (-) Enable (disable) boot sector scanning
/scanmbr+ (-) Enable (disable) master boot record (MBR) scanning
/arch+ (-) Enable (disable) archives (ZIP, ARJ and RAR) scanning
/pack+ (-) Enable (disable) internal runtime packer files scanning
/mailbox+ (-) Enable (disable) internal email files scanning
/local Scan all local non-removable media
/network Scan all network disks
/ext=<LIST> Add a new extension to the list of tested files. (Multiple entries permitted, e.g., /ext=EXT1,EXT2
/all Scan all files regardless of extension

Heuristic analysis

/ah Enables advanced heuristics
/heursafe Set safe heuristic sensitivity (minimize false alarms)
/heurstd Set standard heuristic sensitivity
/heurdeep Set deep heuristic sensitivity

Protocol

/log+ (-) Enable (disable) Log file generation
/wrap+ (-) Enable (disable) text wrapping in the Log file
/logappend Enable Log file append option
/logrewrite Enable rewriting of the Log file
/logsize=N Set Log file to a maximum size of N KB)
/log=<FILENAME> Set the Log file name (e.g.: /log=NOD.LOG)

Cleaning

/clean Clean infected objects (if applicable)
/prompt Offer an action upon virus detection
/rename Rename infected files
/delete Delete infected files
/replace Replace the code within infected boot sectors with appropriate standard code

Note: If the switches: /prompt, /rename, /delete/ or /replace are used concurrently with the /clean switch, the corresponding action is carried out only if the virus can be cleaned.
