+.SH NAME
+regulatory.bin \- The Linux wireless regulatory database
+
+.ad l
+.in +8
+.ti -8
+
+.SS
+.SH Description
+.B regulatory.bin
+is the file used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory
+database information. It is read by
+.B crda
+upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific
+ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code. The regulatory database is kept in
+a small binary format for size and code efficiency. The
+.B regulatory.bin
+file can be parsed and read in human format by using the
+.B regdbdump
+command. The
+.B regulatory.bin
+file should be updated upon regulatory changes or corrections.
+
+.SH Upkeeping
+The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such
+you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the
+linux-wireless mailing list:
+.B linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
