Hi, Looking through the libclamav sources, I see that local databases (.cld, those you get with scripted updates) are loaded with the CL_DB_CVDNOTMP option, and official databases (.cvd) are not.
What is the deeper reason behind this different handling of .cvd and .cld files? I would prefer to always load a database without unpacking it to a temporary directory first, because this saves a lot of space (37MB) on our small boxes and also makes space usage much more predictable. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards Nils Rennebarth, Software Developer -- Funkwerk IP-Appliances GmbH Mönchhaldenstraße 28 D-70191 Stuttgart Tel: +49 711 900300 - 0 Fax: +49 711 900300 - 90 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Location: GmbH Neu-Ulm, Local Court Memmingen, HRB 13043 Managing Directors: Michael Marsanu, Steffen Herrmann -------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail has been carefully researched, but the possibility of it being inapplicable in individual cases cannot be ruled out.
