Hi,

what do you think about an optional verbose output of ClamAV's
version, similar than Perl's 'perl -v' (normal version information -
corresponding to 'clamscan -V') vs. 'perl -V' (verbose version
information - could correspond to 'clamscan -Vv')?

What I would like 'clamscan -Vv' to include is something like this:

clamscan / ClamAV version 0.74
/var/clamav/daily.cvd version 377
/var/clamav/main.cvd version 23

The reason is that this would save system resources in scripts like my
SoftlabsAV (http://antivirus.softlabs.info/) which determines those
versions every time an infected mail arrives, via procmail. Currently,
I have to make several calls:

clamscan --stdout -V
clamscan --debug --no-summary /dev/null 2>&1
sigtool --stdout -i $DB_DIR/daily.cvd
sigtool --stdout -i $DB_DIR/main.cvd

Thanks for considering.

best,

rob.
