Just a friendly aside, it was clear from Edwin's first response that the ClamAV port for windows is true. My other question about tcp sockets remains.

The application that I develop for is already widely adopted and mainly hosted on unix platforms, as well as some use Windows platforms. Since I'm using tcp sockets, probably there is no issue connecting from either platform, or am I misunderstanding? Mainly I wanted to verify that there is a windows port of the ClamAv daemon. We have a small, but vocal group of windows users that may require it, e.g. they run our app on Windows and require Windows for some reason. I would like to be able to say in my documentation, "You can download either ClamAV or ClamAV Windows port if you're a Windows shop." ..\Wendy Wendy Bossons Senior Software Engineer MIT Libraries Software Analysis & Development Building E25-131 77 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02141-4307 Phone 617-253-0770 Fax 617-253-4462 wboss...@mit.edu<mailto:wboss...@mit.edu> http://libraries.mit.edu On Dec 16, 2010, at 2:09 PM, Török Edwin wrote: On Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:16:13 -0500 Jerry <clamav.u...@seibercom.net<mailto:clamav.u...@seibercom.net>> wrote: On Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:05:17 +0200 Török Edwin <edwinto...@gmail.com<mailto:edwinto...@gmail.com>> articulated: On Thu, 16 Dec 2010 11:51:30 -0500 Wendy J Bossons <wboss...@mit.edu<mailto:wboss...@mit.edu>> wrote: Hello, I recently completed a project to integrate virus scanning features into an application, which uses the clamav daemon. We are completing our documentation. I'm a little confused about the feature set between the unix version and the windows version. I have only tested using the unix version of ClamAV. Best thing to do is to test your application on windows. Windows is not a POSIX compatible platform, so how can you know if your application would work on it without testing? That is not technically true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX ... if you install something to give POSIX compat, which you can't even install on all editions. If one were to investigate further they would find that there are numerous non Windows OSs that are not fully POSIX compatible either. Yes there are incompatibilities, but at least they are not missing basic functions. Where's mmap() on windows? You have to use a different API if you want to do that.
