NAME

whois, fwhois − query a whois or nicname database

SYNOPSIS

whois [−v] [−r|−n] [−h server] [−p port] [-t timeout] [−−] query[@server[:port]]

DESCRIPTION

whois formats and sends queries to any RFC954 whois server and prints the results to standard output.

OPTIONS

−h server

The name of the server to query. If no server is specified, the environment variables NICNAMESERVER and WHOISSERVER are checked for server names, and if neither is set, whois.crsnic.net is queried.

−p port

Change the port the whois client connects to. The default is whois but any valid service name will do. If you get bored you can try using finger and see what happens.

−t

Set a time limit for each query, after which the client will exit rather than wait. The time limit includes every part of the query, including name resolution.

−r

Force recursion. If the first server response contains a line similar to

Whois Server: hostname

whois will retry the same query with hostname as the server. This is the default when the default server is being queried.

−n

Disable recursion, even if the default server is being queried.

-v

Be verbose in the query. This causes the client to print the query string it will send to the server before sending it.

--

Don’t interpret subsequent -p, -h, -r, or -v flags given as arguments.

BUGS

None known, but it’s a simple enough protocol that I don’t think there are going to be any problems.
