Origins of "VirusEvent" events
|
|
Hi,
I have a need to differentiate between "regular scanning" and "dazuko" events
for scripts run through the "VirusEvent" mechanism. The C function that is
finally called, "virusaction()", does currently not know about its
origin/caller.
The attached (trivial) patch adds an additional argument "initiator" to
virusaction(); all calling instances pass an informative string (dir, file,
multifile, stream, dazuko) which is put in the environment
variable "CLAM_VIRUSEVENT_INITIATOR".
I'm unsure about good names for various entities, especially about the name
for the env var (_INITIATOR, _ORIGIN, _TYPE, _SCANNER, ...?).
Feel free to use.
Patch applies to 0.93.3
Best regards
Bastian Friedrich
