libclamav and INSTREAM

Helo!

The clamav daemon has an INSTREAM feature for scanning a stream of data.
I’m developing Go bindings for libclamav (https://github.com/eaigner/clam) and was
wondering why there isn’t such a feature in libclamav?

I searched the libclamav headers for something equal but didn’t find anything similar.
It seems I can only scan by file handle. If I use a pipe handle, it will fail.

Is that correct? Do I really have to write (potentially huge) files to disk to scan for clamav?  

Cheers,
