Hi,
Here are diffs which add description of signals that user can send to
freshclam and clamd. One of those patches moves logg() in freshclam.c
little lower, so that logs are unified, no matter is user running
daemonized freshclam, on foreground or sometimes even both. I've also
commented out "--foreground" option from freshclam's help(). Changes
where made against snapshot 20050730. Native speaker should check my
diffs to man pages.
I've also send some time ago changes to libmspack included with
clamav[1].
