Description:  Build ExifTool Geolocation database.

Syntax:       build_geolocation [OPTIONS] [DBFILE] ...

Options:
  DBFILE    - Input database file name or directory.  Multiple input database
              files may be specified.  The -p, -c and -cp options apply to
              the database that comes after them on the command line.
              Default is "allCountries.txt".
  -p POP    - Minimum population for cities to include.  POP may be a number
              or be of the form "CC[,C2...]=###" to set different limits for
              specific countries/regions, where CC and C2 are country codes
              with optional region name or code appended after a period (eg.
              "CA.Ontario,US=500" sets the minimum population to 500 for
              cities on Ontario Canada or the U.S.).  If a region is
              specified, either the full name or the geonames admin1 code may
              be used, and case and spaces are not significant.  May be
              multiple -p options for each input DBFILE.  Default is "2000".
  -c CODE   - Feature codes to always include, regardless of population. CODE
              is a comma-separated list of feature codes, with an optional
              leading comma-separated list of country/region codes followed
              by an equals sign to apply only to specific countries.  The
              feature-code list may begin with a dash to remove entries from
              the default list, or a plus sign to add entries.  May be
              multiple -c options for each intput DBFILE.  Country/region and
              feature names are case insensitive. Default is "PPLA,PPLA2".
  -cp CODE  - Additional features to include if above minimum population.
              Default is "PPL,PPLA,PPLA2,PPLA3,PPLA4,PPLA5,PPLC,PPLCH,PPLF,
              PPLG,PPLH,PPLL,PPLQ,PPLR,PPLS,PPLW,PPLX,STLMT".
  -l LANG   - Alternate languages to read from alternateNamesV2.txt if
              available.  These are used to generate AltNames.dat an the
              GeoLang files.  LANG is a comma-separated list of language
              codes, starting with a dash to remove items from the default
              list.  May be set to an empty string to disable generation
              of alternate language files even if alternateNamesV2.txt
              exists.  The same set of languages applies to all input
              database files.  Default is "cs,de,en,en-ca,en-gb,es,fi,fr,it,
              ja,ko,nl,pl,ru,sk,sv,tr,zh,zh-cn,zh-tw".
  -o OUTDIR - Output directory name.  Default is the same directory as the
              first input database file.  A directory named Geolocation_out
              containing the output files will be created in this directory.
  -ver VER  - Version for output geolocation database (default is 1.02).
  -v        - Verbose messages.
  -h        - Show this help.

Input files (download from https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/):
  allCountries.txt      - default database file (smaller files with names
                          like "cities###.txt" may be specified instead)
  countryInfo.txt       - mandatory country names file
  admin1CodesASCII.txt  - mandatory region names file
  admin2Codes.txt       - mandatory subregion names file
  alternateNamesV2.txt  - optional alternate names file (must exist to
                          to generate AltNames.dat and GeoLang files)

Output files:
  Geolocation_out       - default output directory name
  Geolocation.dat       - ExifTool database file
  AltNames.dat          - alternate names file
  GeoLang               - directory for alternate language files
