Returned Values

Returns a non-nullable IpDatabaseInfo object. dbFilePath is the absolute file path of the file containing the database. updateStrategy describes the strategy used to update the IP database. metadata (nullable) is an IpDatabaseMetadata object providing type (the database type), buildDate (when the database was built), description, and dbFileMd5 (the MD5 hash of the database file, for integrity verification).
