REGDOMAIN(5)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1, nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is regdomain(5) from the File Formats Manual, and it’s all about regdomain.xml — 802.11 wireless regulatory definitions. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The regdomain.xml file describes regulations for the operation of IEEE 802.11 wireless radios. fr fr, it’s the regulatory rulebook for your wifi radio vibes. 📡✨

This information is used by the ifconfig(8) program to construct regulatory state for download to the system. So ifconfig(8) is the one reading this and putting together the regulatory state to send down to the system 🫶

This file should be changed only to reflect changes in regulations. Like, do not just edit it for funsies — it’s giving “official rules only,” no cap. 💅

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/regdomain.xml — XML database of 802.11 regulatory constraints 🌸
