Description: IP lookup command line tools that use the GeoIP library
GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any
IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database.
.
This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values and
it should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.
.
This package contains the command line utilities to resolve the IP numbers
using the GeoIP library.
