This package wraps the libgeoip C library for access from Go (golang).

Install with go get github.com/abh/geoip and use godoc geoip to read the documentation.

There's a small example in the ex/ subdirectory.

You can download the free GeoLite Country database or you can subscribe to updates.

file := "/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat" gi, err := geoip.Open(file) if err != nil {	fmt.Printf("Could not open GeoIP database\n") } if gi != nil {	country, netmask := gi.GetCountry("207.171.7.51") } // Setup gi6 by opening the optional IPv6 database and then... country := gi6.GetCountry_v6("2607:f238:2::5") fmt.Println(country)
