xt_geoip_dl(1)

✨ NAME ✨

xt_geoip_dl — bestie, this is the little script that goes and downloads your GeoIP database files for you 💖

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

/usr/libexec/xt_geoip/xt_geoip_dl

That's it. That's the whole vibe. No flags, no drama, just the path 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea 🫖 — xt_geoip_dl goes out and downloads the DB-IP Country Lite databases, both the IPv4 one and the IPv6 one, and then unpacks them right into your current directory. Like, wherever you ran it from? That's where they land. No cap. 📦✨

And if you're a MaxMind girlie instead? There's a whole alternate script for you: xt_geoip_dl_maxmind, and that one handles MaxMind formatted CSV databases. Different flavor, same energy 🍓

Now, the little plot twist 🌀 — this script is usually installed over in the libexec directory of the xtables-addons package, and that location is outside $PATH on purpose. So you can't just be cute and type the name all casual. Nah. You gotta invoke it with a path, bestie. The path. The whole path. It's giving "you must know where I live" energy 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• None. — literally none. Zero. Zilch. It's an option-less icon and we respect it 🙈💖

Heads up, gorgeous: remember it drops those unpacked database files into whatever directory you're standing in, so maybe don't run it from inside your home directory if you like your home directory the way it is 🫶

Mwah 💋 that was xt_geoip_dl(1) from the xtables-addons crew, dated way back on 2010-12-17 — vintage, honestly. Stay slaying, and go build those databases, bestie. 🌟👑💜
