.SH NAME

setregdomain \- set regulatory domain based on country code

.SH SYNOPSIS               

.B setregdomain                  

.SH DESCRIPTION

setregdomain sets the regulatory domain for your system; it takes no

arguments and is normally called via system script (eg, udev) rather

than manually by an administrator.

The regulatory domain is represented by an ISO / IEC 3166-1 alpha2

country code.  By default, setregdomain attempts to determine

the appropriate country code by examining the target of the

.IR /etc/localtime

symbolic link.  That information is used to look-up the matching

country code in the

.IR /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab

file.

The country code look-up may fail.  This could be due to faulty

or incomplete information in the

.IR /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab

file, or the use of an actual file rather than a symlink for

.IR /etc/localtime

, among other possibilities.  In those cases the system

administrator should define a COUNTRY environment variable in the

.IR /etc/sysconfig/regdomain

file.  This value will be used as the country code and the country

code look-up will be skipped.
