Package: geoip-bin (1.6.12-11.1 and others)

IP lookup command line tools that use the GeoIP library

GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database.

This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values and it should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.

This package contains the command line utilities to resolve the IP numbers using the GeoIP library.
