- ripewhois
|
|
|
|
The RIPE version of the whois client program.
|
|
|
|
This is intended for European users as it will query a RIPE whois
|
|
server with extended whois capabilities rather than a standard whois
|
|
protocol server. The ripewhois program is fully compatible with the
|
|
standard whois protocol and can thus replace your default whois
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
This program is aware of quite some extra flags that the standard whois
|
|
doesn't support. Just try 'ripewhois' without arguments to see an
|
|
explanation of these. Please note that most of these flags are NOT
|
|
supported by non RIPE whois servers. In cases where you use this client
|
|
to query non RIPE whois servers, you should not use any of these
|
|
flags.
|
|
|
|
This client supports the "-v" option and the argument "all" to
|
|
"-t" and "-v".

|
- networkupdate
|
|
|
|
A program that allows updating the RIPE database with the whois
|
|
protocol instead of the usual E-mail interface. This program can
|
|
usually only be used by the administrators of the whois server itself.
|
|
The updating mechanism is too powerfull (for now) to allow the general
|
|
public to use this mechanism. The server is protected by means of an
|
|
accesslist.
