== NAME

mmdbresolve - Read IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and print their IP geolocation information.

== SYNOPSIS

[manarg]
*mmdbresolve*
*-f <dbfile>*
[ *-f <dbfile>* ]
__...__

== 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.

    echo 4.4.4.4 | mmdbresolve -f /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb

.Example output
    [init]
    db.0.path: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
    db.0.status: OK
    mmdbresolve.status: true
