NAME

6       mmdbresolve - Read IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and print their IP
7       geolocation information.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       mmdbresolve -f <dbfile> [ -f <dbfile> ] ...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       mmdbresolve reads IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on stdin and prints their IP
14       geolocation information on stdout. Each input line must contain exactly
15       one address. Output is in INI format, with a section delimiter named
16       after the query address followed by a set of "key: value" pairs. A
17       comment beginning with "# End" is appended to each section.
18
19       At startup an "[init]" section is printed that shows the status of each
20       datbase and of mmdbresolve itself.
21
