Thanks so much for the prompt response.
I have an Intel iMac… running Mac OS 10-6-2 plus mall updates.
Using Mac's "Terminal" option, I found no MAN pages you suggest.
I am beginning to think that As a clamav user, I need a Linux version running
under my VMWare system just to get more 'UNIXfied'
Cheers, Jim B
The Mac version is as Unixfied as it gets. But the man pages for what you're
looking for may not exist in your default man path (in a terminal: echo
$MANPATH). Then execute man man, and man manpath. Use find in a terminal to find
all your man page locations. Spotlight won't work.
There is no important difference between the way clamAV runs in a Mac vs Linux.
One important point has to do with the Mac file system which by default is case
weird. It treats upper and lower case filenames oddly compared to Unix and Linux
systems, and even within the Mac, depending on whether you are using command
line tools or GUI tools.
I'm running ClamAV on a Mac, Sun Sparc with Solaris, and Linux. I'll soon have
it running on a Mac Mini Server though on that system the case issues will be
corrected. Anyway - it works fine on a Mac.
