Hi all, Considering that my previous e-mails did not get any answer, concerning the large files support patch I have begun to write, from now on I plan to change my approach of the problem if I don't get any clear answer from you about the support of large files in ClamAV.
I would write a program to be used before calling ClamAV, in order to check the size of the ClamAV input files. Files larger than 2GB would be either decompressed or unarchived (this would result in a pool of files smaller than 2GB), either cut up (for plain files >2GB, e.g. raw or text files). Of course, levels of recursion would be handled. I think this solution is less satisfactory than the first approach I proposed, but unfortunately that is where your lack of support may lead me. I am of course still ready to do my share of work to integrate the large files support in trunk version of ClamAV, I just need a clear answer from you. Still waiting for your answer... :) Regards, Benoît Mazzetti Benoît Mazzetti wrote: > Hi all, > > As I already informed you, I begun to write a patch for large file (>2GB) > support in clamscan.
