okay so real talk: this is cvdupdate(1), a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the tool that lets you host your own ClamAV database mirror like the main character you are. yes, the original spells it cvdudpate in the NAME section — we don't fix typos in this house, we preserve them, periodt. 🫶

🌈 the update lore 🌈

okay so update is the one that comes with its own little origin story, and I'm obsessed. here's the vibe:

files for the purposes of hosting your own database mirror.

translation: it downloads your clamav databases and your database patch files, specifically so you can host your own database mirror. that's the whole goal. that's the assignment and she ATE. 👑
