.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
