-setregdomain \- set regulatory domain based on timezone
+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.
