Country Codes
-------------
Author:
Diego Javier Grigna <diego@grigna.com>
Q: What does this program do?
A: It's an ISO 3166 country code finder. I use it when I enter IRC, when I
receive email, when I surf the web, etc, to know, for example, from what
country the email cames from.
Dumb example:
Suppose that you got email from:
somebody1@somesubdomain.somedomain.ar
somebody2@somesubdomain.somedomain.it
somebody3@somesubdomain.somedomain.lt
somebody4@somesubdomain.somedomain.ee
In this case the last two letters of the domain name are ISO 3166 country
codes, (this not always happens, .com, .org, .net are NOT ISO 3166 codes!)
I am lazy to hold all the ISO 3166 in my mind, or to grep it from a file,
it's too much work :)
Then I made this program, and when I got some of the above emails I type:
$
$ iso3166 ar it lt ee
Country 2 letter 3 letter Number
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Argentina ar arg 32
Italy it ita 380
Lithuania lt ltu 440
Estonia ee est 233
$
The same applies when I see any domain name (in IRC, HTTP, FTP, etc).
You could search the table using the 2 or 3 letter codes, using the country
number or the country name. Also you could see all the entries in the table
using the "-a" command line option.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features is v1.0.2!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you could enter a domain name, and the program will try to explain it.
Example:
$
$ iso3166 -d ftp.somename.org.ar ns2.somehost.edu.cn welcome.to
Domain name : ftp.somename.org.ar
Top domain : ar (Argentina)
Sub domain #1: org (Organizations)
Sub domain #2: somename (Unknown)
Sub domain #3: ftp (File Transfer Protocol)
Domain name : ns2.somehost.edu.cn
Top domain : cn (China)
Sub domain #1: edu (Educational institutions)
Sub domain #2: somehost (Unknown)
Sub domain #3: ns2 (Name server)
Domain name : welcome.to
Top domain : to (Tonga)
Sub domain #1: welcome (Unknown)
$
Q: Where can I get this program?
