This is whois3, a very simple and generic whois client.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This client, unlike the "classic" whois client,
|
||
|
|
does not check for supported flags at the client side,
|
||
|
|
except for -h (whois host) and -p (whois port).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The syntax checks for flags are made at the server side.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default host and port of whois3 is whois.ripe.net
|
||
|
|
at port 43 (or to be more exact, the tcp port specified
|
||
|
|
for whois in /etc/services).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
