- .SH Description
- .B regulatory.bin
- and
- .B regulatory.db
- are the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory
- database information.
- .PP
- .B regulatory.bin
- is read by
- .B crda
- upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific
- ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code.
- .PP
- .B regulatory.db
- is a newer, extensible database format which (since Linux 4.15) is read
- by the kernel directly as a firmware file.
- The regulatory database is kept in a small binary format for size and code
- efficiency. The
- .B regulatory.bin
- file can be parsed and read in human format by using the
- .B regdbdump
- command. The regulatory database files should be updated upon regulatory
- changes or corrections.
- .SH Upkeeping
- The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such
- you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the
- linux-wireless and wireless-regdb mailing lists:
- .B linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
- and
- .B wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org
