mmdbresolve - Read IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and print their IP geolocation information.
Contents
Description
mmdbresolve reads IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on stdin and prints their IP geolocation information on stdout.
Each input line must contain exactly one address. Output is in INI format, with a section delimiter named
after the query address followed by a set of "key: value" pairs. A comment beginning with "# End" is
appended to each section.
At startup an "[init]" section is printed that shows the status of each datbase and of mmdbresolve
itself.
Examples
To resolve a single address:
echo 4.4.4.4 | mmdbresolve -f /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
