SANITIZER(1)

📦 version 1.76, in ubuntu jammy

💖 SANITIZER 💖

ok so bestie, we're doing sanitizer(1) today — the manual page, the whole vibe, all of it. sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

sanitizer — an email virus scanner 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sanitizer [conffile ...] [confoption ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page is a lil quick rundown of the sanitizer command, okay? and here's the tea: it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome 💅

The Anomy Sanitizer is what most people would call "an email virus scanner". and like… that description? not totally accurate ngl, but it does cover one of the more important jobs the sanitizer can do for you — it can scan email attachments for viruses. that part is very much real 🔥

Sanitizer acts as a pipe, periodt. it expects an email message to scan on standard input, and it returns the filtered message on standard output. that's the whole flow, no cap 🫶

and you get options, because of course you do:

  • you could give a path to a configuration file
  • or you could just set some configuration variables right there in the command line

either way works, do your thing 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

and if you want more info on configuration, it's all chillin' here: /usr/share/doc/sanitizer/sanitizer.html 📖✨
