Scanning time

Hello,

I would like to find out how much time it takes for ClamAV to scan a
given file (without counting with the initialization phase - just the
file scanning).

When a scan is ran, the time given by ClamAV includes the
initialization phase, correct?

Is there any way to just get the scanning time, without changing the
source code?

Thanks.

Start clamd, and use clamdscan. That will report just the file scanning time
(plus queuing time in clamd, but if you're the only one using clamd that should be close to zero).
