dsc-data..._country(7)

📦 version 1.4.2, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

client_subnet_country — literally generates country info based on client subnet, using a Maxmind database. that's the whole vibe 💅

this lil angel lives in the dsc-data..._country(7) page of the Miscellaneous Information Manual, and she is so ready to tell you where people are from 🌍

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dsc-datatool --generator ";client_subnet_country;<options...>"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, here's the tea 🍓 this generator goes and looks up a country code in a Maxmind database for all the subnets hanging out in the client_subnet dataset. then it builds the dataset client_subnet_country out of that. iconic behaviour, no cap ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • path=<directory> — tells it to go search for the Maxmind database in the directory you specify. you can drop this option multiple times to search in multiple directories, because why limit yourself 👑

the default search paths are: /var/lib/GeoIP, /usr/share/GeoIP, /usr/local/share/GeoIP.

  • filename=filename — the database filename to go hunt for. defaults to GeoLite2-Country.mmdb 🎀
  • db=/path/to/database.mmdb — full path straight to the Maxmind database. heads up, this one overrides both path and filename, she does not play 💀
  • nonstrict=<value> — if you set this (to literally any value) it flips on non-strict mode, which means any bad data in the dataset gets disregarded and skipped completely. default is strict mode, so stay sharp 🔥
