✨ NAME ✨

geoiplookup — look up country using IP Address or hostname 🌍

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

geoiplookup [-d directory] [-f filename] [-v] <ipaddress|hostname>

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so geoiplookup uses the GeoIP library and the GeoIP database to figure out which Country an IP address or hostname originates from. that's it, that's the whole job, and it eats every time. 👑

for example:

geoiplookup 80.60.233.195

this will find the Country that 80.60.233.195 originates from, and it spits it back in the following format:

NL, Netherlands

like. the country code, comma, the country name. no notes. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f — Specify a custom path to a single GeoIP datafile. (one file, bestie, just the one 🍓)
• -d — Specify a custom directory containing GeoIP datafile(s). By default geoiplookup looks in /usr/share/GeoIP 👀
• -v — Lists the date and build number for the GeoIP datafile(s). it's giving receipts, we love to see it 💯
