Application: Sophie

Sophie is a daemon which uses 'libsavi' library from Sophos anti virus vendor ( http://www.sophos.com ). On startup, Sophie initializes SAPI (Sophos Anti-Virus Interface), loads virus patterns into memory, opens local UNIX domain socket, and waits for someone to connect and instructs it which path to scan. Since the database is loaded in RAM, scanning is very fast. (Note: speed of scanning also depends on SAVI settings and size of the file.) It has been tested on Linux and Solaris (Sparc), and also compiles on FreeBSD (not extensively tested). It was made as a part of 'Virge' project, which is a mail/attachment/virus scanning tool (and procmail replacement), written in C.
