| |
| This repository contains the plain text version of the regulatory |
| database file I maintain for use with Central Regulatory Database |
| Agent daemon. Also included is the compiled binary version of this |
| file signed with my RSA key. This represents a good faith attempt |
| to capture regulatory information that is correct at the time of its last |
| modification. This information is provided to you with no warranty |
| either expressed or implied. |
| |
| Also included are the tools used to compile and sign the regulatory.bin |
| file as well as a MoinMoin macro used for viewing the database. |
| |
| |
| TECHNICAL INFORMATION |
| ======================= |
| |
| The regulatory information in `db.txt' is stored in a human-readable |
| format which can be read using the `dbparse.py' python module. This |
| python module is used by the web viewer (Regulatory.py) which is |
| implemented as a MoinMoin macro (and used on http://wireless.kernel.org) |
| to allow viewing the database for verification. |
| |
| The dbparse module is also used by db2bin.py and db2fw.py, the `compilers' |
| that compile the database to its binary formats. |
