world [options] [addr, [addr, ...]]
This script takes a list of Internet top-level domain names and prints out where in the world those domains originate from. Reverse look ups are also supported.
Look up top-level domains:
$ world tz us
tz originates from TANZANIA, UNITED REPUBLIC OF
us originates from UNITED STATES
Reverse lookups:
$ world -r united
Matches for "united":
ae: UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
gb: UNITED KINGDOM
tz: TANZANIA, UNITED REPUBLIC OF
uk: United Kingdom (common practice)
um: UNITED STATES MINOR OUTLYING ISLANDS
us: UNITED STATES
Only two-letter country codes are supported, since these are the only ones that were freely available from the ISO 3166 standard. As of 2015-01-09, even these are no longer available in machine readable form.
This script also knows about non-geographic, generic, USA-centric, historical, common usage, and reserved top-level domains.
-r, --reverse Do a reverse lookup. In this mode, the arguments can be any Python regular expression; these are matched against all TLD descriptions (e.g. country names) and a list of matches is printed. -a, --all Print the mapping of all top-level domains.
-h, --help show this help message and exit --version show program’s version number and exit
