|
|
<B>regulatory.bin</B>
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<B>regulatory.db</B>
|
|
|
|
are the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory
|
|
database information.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>regulatory.bin</B>
|
|
|
|
is read by
|
|
<B>crda</B>
|
|
|
|
upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific
|
|
ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>regulatory.db</B>
|
|
|
|
is a newer, extensible database format which (since Linux 4.15) is read
|
|
by the kernel directly as a firmware file.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The regulatory database is kept in a small binary format for size and code
|
|
efficiency. The
|
|
<B>regulatory.bin</B>
|
|
|
|
file can be parsed and read in human format by using the
|
|
<B>regdbdump</B>
|
|
|
|
command. The regulatory database files should be updated upon regulatory
|
|
changes or corrections.
|
|
<P>

The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such
|
|
you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the
