[clamav-users] clamscan --disable-cache

[Dave Sill]

The clamscan man page says:

      --disable-cache
              Disable caching and cache checks for hash sums of scanned files.

I've looked high and low via google, strace, looking at source code, conducting tests,
and I see no sign of caching done by clamscan. Is this on the to-do list?

We'd like to regularly scan systems but the overhead of scanning the same files
repeatedly is a bit much. A per-system cache would be good. Even better would be a
centralized, local to our network, service that clamscan could check & update.

I suppose that would be pretty easy to add on top.

Anyone done anything like that?
