Overview

This module offers an interface to databases with known browsers, operating systems and other information useful in analyzing user agent strings as found in Apache combined logfiles.

Optionally, the user can add custom information to the database with the addX() and addXHash() functions, where X is the type of database.

This module is based on ideas as seen in AWStats.
