+.SH Description
+.PP
+xt_geoip_build is used to build packed raw representations of the range
+database that the xt_geoip module relies on. Since kernel memory is precious,
+much of the preprocessing is done in userspace by this very building tool. One
+file is produced for each country, so that no more addresses than needed are
+required to be loaded into memory. The ranges in the packed database files are
+also ordered, as xt_geoip relies on this property for its bisection approach to
+work.
+.PP
+Input is processed from the listed files, or if none is given, from stdin.
+.PP
+Since the script is usually installed to the libexec directory of the
+xtables-addons package and this is outside $PATH (on purpose), invoking the
+script requires it to be called with a path.
+.PP Options
+.TP
+\fB\-b\fP
+The packed database files (file extension .iv0) are normally produced in
+little-endian format. Use \fB\-b\fP to produce big-endian instead, as is needed
+on some CPU families such as MIPS, PPC and SPARC.
+.TP
+\fB\-D\fP \fItarget_dir\fP
+Specify a target directory into which the files are to be put.
+.SH Application
+.PP
+Shell commands to build the databases and put them to where they are expected:
+.PP
+xt_geoip_build -D /usr/share/xt_geoip/LE
+.PP
+xt_geoip_build -bD /usr/share/xt_geoip/BE
