jwhois(1) General Commands Manual jwhois(1) NAME jwhois - client for the whois service SYNOPSIS jwhois [ OPTIONS ]... [ QUERY ] DESCRIPTION jwhois searches Whois servers for the object on the command line. The host to query is taken from a global configuration file, a configu- ration file specified on the command line, or selected directly on the command line. OPTIONS --version display version, authors and licensing information. --help display a short help text. -c FILE --config=FILE uses FILE as a configuration file instead of the default. -h HOST --host=HOST overrides any hosts in the configuration file and queries HOST directly. -p PORT --port=PORT specifies a port number to use when querying a HOST. -f --force-lookup forces a query to be made to a host even if a current object is available from the cache. -v --verbose outputs verbose debugging information while running (use this before sending a bugreport to ensure that it's indeed a bug and not a misconfiguration). You can increase the verbosity by giv- ing several verbose commands to jwhois, such as -vv. -n --no-redirect disable features that redirect queries from one server to an- other. -s --no-whoisservers disable the built-in support for whois-servers.net. -a --raw send query verbatim to receiving hosts instead of rewriting them according to the configuration. -i --display-redirections display every step in a redirection (default is to display only the last answer). -d --disable-cache completely disable both reading and writing to cache. -r --rwhois force the query to use the rwhois protocoll instead of HTTP or whois. --rwhois-display=DISPLAY asks receiving rwhois servers to display the results in the DIS- PLAY display instead of the default dump display. --rwhois-limit=LIMIT asks receiving rwhois servers to limit their responses to LIMIT matches. RIPE EXTENSIONS To use the options specified in RIPE Document 157, you need to change the format of the query slightly. If you were to search for all en- tries in the RIPE database which lists the admin-c, tech-c or zone-c as CO19-RIPE, you could use the following command syntax: jwhois -h whois.ripe.net -- -i admin-c,tech-c,zone-c CO19-RIPE -- is used to separate the RIPE options from the jwhois options.
