Run File Detection In or Out of Process
By default, detection runs in out-of-process mode. However, you can enable in-process detection through the API or in the formats.ini
file. If the type of process is not specified in the formats.ini
or in the API, Filter runs in out-of-process mode. If the type of process is specified in the formats.ini
and in the API, the setting in the API takes precedence.
Specify the Process Type In the formats.ini File
Add the
default_detect_inprocess
flag to a [FilterSDK_Config]
section in the formats.ini
file to control the default behavior for detection. Set
default_detect_inprocess
to 0
for out-of-process detection, and 1
for in-process detection. For example:
[FilterSDK Config] default_detect_inprocess=0
If this flag is not specified, the file detection behavior is determined by the default_inprocess
flag for filtering. For example, if you set default_inprocess
to 1
, filtering and file detection runs in in-process mode by default; if you set default_inprocess
to 0
, filtering and file detection runs in out-of-process mode by default.
If both the default_inprocess
and default_detect_inprocess
flags are set, then default_inprocess
controls the default filtering behavior and default_detect_inprocess
controls the default file detection behavior.
Specify the Process Type In the API
To run detection in in-process mode, instantiate the Filter object by using the constructor Filter(java.lang.String outputCharSet, long filterFlags)
, and set the filterFlags
argument to FILTERFLAG_DETECTINPROCESS
. To run detection in out-of-process mode, set FILTERFLAG_DETECTOUTOFPROCESS
.
objFilter = new Filter(outputCharSet, Filter.FILTERFLAG_DETECTINPROCESS);
