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.

       -f     Specifies	 the configuration file that contains the license key.
	      Defaults to GeoIP.conf in the system configuration directory.

USAGE
       Typically you'll want to write a crontab to run on  the	first  day  of
       each  month  that will run geoipupdate.	Below is a sample crontab that
       runs geoipupdate monthly:

	      # top of crontab

	      MAILTO=your@email.com

	      33 3 1 * * /usr/local/bin/geoipupdate -v

	      # end of crontab

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

FILES
       /etc/GeoIP.conf

       Configuration file for GeoIP, should contain license key.
