Environment Variables:

    CURL_CA_BUNDLE                       May be set to the path of a file (bundle)
                                         containing one or more CA certificates.
                                         This will override the default openssl
                                         certificate path.
    FRESHCLAM_CLIENT_CERT                May be set to the path of a file (PEM)
                                         containing the client certificate.
                                         This may be used for client authentication
                                         to a private mirror.
    FRESHCLAM_CLIENT_KEY                 May be set to the path of a file (PEM)
                                         containing the client private key.
                                         This is required if FRESHCLAM_CLIENT_CERT is set.
    FRESHCLAM_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWD          May be set to a password for the client key PEM file.
                                         This is required if FRESHCLAM_CLIENT_KEY is
                                         set and the PEM file is password protected.
    CVD_CERTS_DIR                        Specify a directory containing the root CA cert needed
                                         to verify detached CVD digital signatures.
                                         If not provided, then freshclam will look in the default directory.
