### How To Use

* `cf push`

OR

* `glide install && go build -v . && PRIMARY_MIRROR="https://database.clamav.net" ./clamav`

### What It Does

1. Starts an asynchronous download of the current antivirus definitions.
    1. Downloads three databases:
        1. `main`
        1. `bytecode`
        1. `daily`
    1. Parses each database's header for similar versions.
    1. If there is a similar/related version, it also gets downloaded.
    1. Downloaded files are stored in-memory in a cache for client downloads.
1. Initialises a cron job to download the new database definitions every hour.
1. Starts the web server and serves from cache.
1. Evicts files from cache every 3 hours to prevent stale definitions.

### Mirrors

In order to function properly as a localised cache, you need to set the `PRIMARY_MIRROR` environment variable. Below is a short list of known mirrors.

* http://database.clamav.net
* https://pivotal-clamav-mirror.s3.amazonaws.com (fast)

If for some reason the primary mirror fails, if you set `SECONDARY_MIRROR`, it will try that one.

### Contributing

* Keep It Simple.
* The standard testing library is awesome. Let's keep using it.

To unzip the CVD files:
`cd filedefs/ && tail -c $(expr $(wc -c $FILE.cvd | awk '{print $1}') - 512) $FILE.cvd | tar zxvf -`
