Does clamscan exclude /proc by default ?

In the clamscan source directory:

[root]$ grep proc *.c
manager.c:dev_t procdev;
manager.c:    procdev = (dev_t) 0;
manager.c:    if(stat("/proc", &sb) != -1 && !sb.st_size)
manager.c:      procdev = sb.st_dev;
manager.c:    /* argh, don't scan /proc files */
manager.c:    if(procdev)
manager.c:          if(sb.st_dev == procdev) {
manager.c:                  mprintf("%s: Excluded (/proc)\n", filename);
manager.c: mprintf("\nUnpacker process %d stopped due to exceeded limits\n", pid);

Thanks Dennis.

I might learn a programming language one day until then I'll have to rely on programmers comments in the source code.

You wouldn't know if there are any other excluded directories?

William.

Sorry, I don't. Possibly any well-known pseudo file system is mapped out but it would require a reading of the code to be sure or perhaps one of the hard working coders here can answer.
