[clamav-users] Creating basic signature files info missing?

[J.R.]

When browsing the page on creating signatures for clamav, I couldn't
find info on the *.db format

https://www.clamav.net/documents/creating-signatures-for-clamav

It used the simple format: MalwareName=HexSignature

I'm guessing it has been depreciated in favor of the extended
signature format? Does ClamAV still read the old format?
