NAME
       regulatory.bin - The Linux wireless regulatory database




Description
       regulatory.bin is the file used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory database information. It is read
       by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code. 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.bin file 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 mailing list: linux-wirelessATvger.org
