[clamav-users] ClamAV Scan - Data Read vs Data Scanned

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

I agree.  We already have some logic in freshclam to convert bytes to human readable B / KiB / MiB / GiB format.  It should be pretty much a copypaste effort to improve the data scanned/read output.

    If you want to try a very quick and dirty tweak to get more precise
    numbers, change the value of

    1) CL_COUNT_PRECISION in .../libclamav/clamav.h from 4096 to 1

    2) replace '1024' with '1' in four places in clamscan/clamscan.c

    3) change 'MB' to 'Bytes' in two places in clamscan/clamscan.c and

    4) rebuild.

    ~/clamav-0.103.0-rc2: $ grep -C3 -r CL_COUNT_PRECISION clamscan libclamav | ...
    ...
    ...
    clamscan/clamscan.c:        mb = info.blocks * (CL_COUNT_PRECISION / 1024) / 1024.0;
    clamscan/clamscan.c:        logg("Data scanned: %2.2lf MB\n", mb);
    clamscan/clamscan.c:        rmb = info.rblocks * (CL_COUNT_PRECISION / 1024) / 1024.0;
    clamscan/clamscan.c:        logg("Data read: %2.2lf MB (ratio %.2f:1)\n", rmb, info.rblocks ? (double)info.blocks / (double)info.rblocks : 0);
    ...
    ...
    libclamav/clamav.h:#define CL_COUNT_PRECISION 4096
    ...
    ...

    This is untested, YMMV.  Obviously, if you're skilled in the art, this
    can be done better.  Note that 'MB' should in any case be 'MiB' as the
    values printed are the counts divided by 2^20 and not by 10^6.
