-IP2Location is a C library that enables the user to find the country, region,
-city, latitude, longitude, zip code, time zone, ISP, domain name, connection
-type, area code, weather, mobile network by IP address or hostname originates
-from. It contains a demo IP2Location IP-COUNTRY BIN database which consists of
-real data for IP address range 0.0.0.0 to 99.255.255.255. This database
-contains IP address blocks as key and countries as values. The paid version of
-IP2Location database covers all IP address range. In general, it is more
-complete, fast and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups. Developers can
-download other sample databases to evaluate other features such as region,
-city, latitude, longitude, zip code, ISP, domain name, connection, area code,
-weather code and mobile network code using the same C library.
