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
|
|
that is accurate as of March 2002. This database simply contains IP blocks
|
|
as keys, and countries as values. This database should be more complete and
|
|
accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.
|
|
|
|
This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest
|
|
mirror, to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of your
|
|
visitors, for credit card fraud detection, and for software export controls.
|
|
|
|
This port includes a helper script, geoipupdate.sh, to help you keep the
|
|
library up-to-date.
