NAME

       regulatory.bin, regulatory.db - The Linux wireless regulatory database

Description

       regulatory.bin and regulatory.db are the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to
       keep its regulatory database information.

       regulatory.bin is read by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information
       for a specific ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code.

       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
       regulatory.bin file can be parsed and read in human format by using the regdbdump command.
       The regulatory database files should be updated upon regulatory changes or corrections.

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: linux-
       wireless@vger.kernel.org and wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org
