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

Description
       regulatory.bin and regulatory.db are the files used by the Linux wire-
       less subsystem to keep its regulatory database information.

       regulatory.bin is read by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for reg-
       ulatory 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 hu-
       man 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 wire-
       less-regdb@lists.infradead.org
