freshclam.exe exit code 1 on Database is up-to-date

Hello,

using the freshclam.exe in batch I try to capture some errors.

According to https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-freshclam/ the exit code on "Database is up-to-date" should be 0, but with the version 0.100.0 I receive exit code 1.

Is this a bug or a feature?

You may call it feature :) please look at https://github.com/clamwin/clamav/blob/0.100.1/freshclam/freshclamcodes.h FC_UPTODATE is 1

Hello, sorry just stumbled into here after looking for the same error reason, and reading the docs telling me

0 : Database is up-to-date or successfully updated.

https://github.com/clamwin/clamav/blob/8de125e48b51b691155a542ba0c25c4b9b9cb5e0/docs/man/freshclam.1.in#L100

Is this just that freshclam manpage is outdated, or I'm missing something?

Thanks!

Ping. We ran into the same issue. Not sure why 1 was chosen for successful database update. Is it possible to change this to 0 and be consistent with the man page ?

I'm stuck with new freshclam version 101. With version 100 everything was fine in updates. Now, after an update, even if I delete the whole database from the database folder freshclam says always "Database is up-to-date or successfully updated". Bah? Where are the databases? Is Freshclam still looking at the freshclam.conf or something is changed?
