sdesc: "IP lookup command line tools that use the GeoIP library."
ldesc: "GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country
that any IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based
database that is accurate as of March 2002. This database simply
contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values. This database
should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.
This package contains the command line utilities to resolve the IP
numbers using the GeoIP library."
