.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
|
|
It expects to find a directory named
|
|
.IR GeoLite2-Country-CSV_YYYYMMDD
|
|
in the current directory, and will select the most recent if multiple
|
|
instances are found. The
|
|
.IR xt_geoip_dl
|
|
script can be used to populate this directory.
|
|
.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.
