| 3 | == NAME | |
| 4 | location-query - Query the location database | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | == SYNOPSIS | |
| 7 | [verse] | |
| 8 | `location-query lookup ADDRESS [ADDRESS...]` | |
| 9 | `location-query get-as ASN [ASN...]` | |
| 10 | `location-query search-as STRING` | |
| 11 | `location-query list-networks-by-as ASN` | |
| 12 | `location-query list-networks-by-cc COUNTRY_CODE` | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | == DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | The `location-query` retrieves information from the location database. | |
| 16 | This data can be used to determine someone's location on the Internet | |
| 17 | and for building firewall rulesets to block access from certain ASes | |
| 18 | or countries. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | == OPTIONS | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | --database FILE:: | |
| 23 | -d FILE:: | |
| 24 | The path of the database which is being opened. | |
| 25 | + | |
| 26 | If this option is omitted, the system's database will be opened. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | --debug:: | |
| 29 | Enable debugging mode | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | == COMMANDS | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | 'lookup ADDRESS [ADDRESS...]':: | |
| 34 | This command returns the network the given IP address has been found in | |
| 35 | as well as its Autonomous System if that information is available. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | 'get-as ASN [ASN...]':: | |
| 38 | This command returns the name of the owning organisation of the Autonomous | |
| 39 | System. | |

| 41 | 'search-as STRING':: | |
| 42 | Lists all Autonomous Systems which match the given string. | |
| 43 | + | |
| 44 | The search will be performed case-insensitively. | |
| 45 | ||
| 4439e317 | 46 | 'list-networks-by-as [--output-format FORMAT] ASN':: |
| 161ac92d | 47 | Lists all networks which belong to this Autonomous System. |
| 4439e317 MT |
48 | + |
| 49 | The '--output-format' parameter can change the output so that it can be | |
| 50 | directly loaded into other software. The following options are available: | |
| 51 | + | |
| 52 | * 'list' (default): Just lists all networks, one per line | |
| 53 | * 'xt_geoip': Returns a list of networks to be loaded into the xt_geoip | |
| 54 | kernel module | |
| 161ac92d | 55 | |
| 4439e317 | 56 | 'list-networks-by-cc [--output-format FORMAT] COUNTRY_CODE':: |
| 161ac92d MT |
57 | Lists all networks that belong to a country. |
| 58 | + | |
| 59 | The country has to be encoded in ISO3166 Alpha-2 notation. | |
| 4439e317 MT |
60 | + |

| 72 | the exit code is unequal to zero. | |
