csv2bin Readme file
-------------------

csv2bin is a tool specially written for the iptables/netfilter's geoip match
purpose. This file won't discuss about the iptables/netfilter's framework.
www.netfilter.org for details.

csv2bin's only task is to convert a comma-seperated-value database containing
all IPv4 subnets and their associated countries to an understable binary format
for the iptables' geoip shared library.

You can create your own database (perhaps you feel sado) or simply gets the
latest GeoIP's free database from MaxMind. This product includes GeoIP data
created by MaxMind, available from http://maxmind.com/
