how that info added into .dylib files.. even though signle source file of
ClamAV doesn't have that pattern.. how clamAV development team adding
this info to their library.. could you have any idea on this?
i don't care nor i am a clamav developer but i get annoyed when people
grep around in binary files and flood users lists whith things nobody
normally cares about

Hi ClamAV Developers, Users
Sorry.. i missed proper info in my previous mail thread.. please find
correct info below
I have compiled the ClamAV source code on Mac OS X and investigating
libclamav.dylib and libclamav.7.dylib internal files information for my
curiousity.. Surprisingly i got below info when i ran grep with some
pattern
*admin-macbookPro-2:clamav-devel-0.99.2 tringappsinc$ grep -ir "This file
was created by ClamAV for internal use and should not be run"*
*Binary file ./libclamav/.libs/libclamav.7.dylib matches*
*Binary file ./libclamav/.libs/libclamav.dylib matches*
*Binary file ./libclamav/.libs/libclamav_la-rebuildpe.o matches*
*Binary file ./libclamav/.libs/libclamav_la-upx.o matches*
i still don't understand why those above binary files contains that
pattern(that i mentioned above) even though single source file of ClamAV
Codebase doesn't have that kind of pattern . From where this pattern
appending to .dylib files.?
i am so curious to understand things behind it. is there any logic ClamV
Internally using?
because it's not meant as library for 3rd party tools because it's
internal signatures can change at every point in time, well, because it's
not intended as public interface?
when you provide something below /usr/lib[64]/ it's intended that it is
used by third party software for linking and hence you have to maintain
compatibility and versioning to not break them by remove unused functions
or params or whatever breaks linked applications
this is *not* clamav specific and obvious
