NAME
       geoipupdate - a program for updating the MaxMind GeoIP databases

SYNOPSIS
       geoipupdate [-v] [-f licensefile]

DESCRIPTION
       geoipupdate  automatically  updates  the	 GeoIP database for GeoIP sub‐
       scribers.  It connects to the MaxMind GeoIP Update  server  and	checks
       for  an	updated	 database.   If	 it finds an updated database, then it
       downloads it, uncompresses it, and installs it.	If you are  running  a
       firewall, it requires that the DNS and HTTP (80) ports be open.

       For example

       geoipupdate -v

       Performs the update in verbose mode.

OPTIONS
       -v     Verbose mode, prints out the steps that geoipupdate takes.

       -d     Specify	a   custom  directory  target  to  install  the	 GeoIP
	      datafile(s).     By    default	geoipupdate    installs	    to
	      /usr/share/GeoIP

       -f     Specifies	 the configuration file that contains the license key.
	      Defaults to /etc/GeoIP.conf

USAGE
       Typically you'll want to write a weekly crontab that will run  geoipup‐
       date.   Below is a sample crontab that runs geoipupdate on each Wednes‐
       day at noon:

	      # top of crontab

	      MAILTO=your@email.com

	      0 12 * * 3 BIN_DIR/geoipupdate

	      # end of crontab
       To use with a proxy server, set the  http_proxy	environment  variable.
       E.g.
	      export http_proxy="http://proxy-hostname:port"

RETURN CODES
       geoipupdate returns 0 on success, 1 on error.

FILES
       /etc/GeoIP.conf

       Configuration file for GeoIP, should contain license key.
