jwhois - client for the whois service
jwhois [ OPTIONS ]... [ QUERY ]
jwhois searches Whois servers for the object on the command line.
The host to query is taken from a global configuration file, a configuration file specified on the command line, or selected directly on the command line.
-c f
--config=f instead of /etc/jwhois.conf
-h host
--host=host overrides any hosts in the configuration file and queries host directly.
| -p port
--port=port default 43, 63, 4321[rwhois])
| -f
--force-lookup forces a query to be made to a host not from cache.
|
-v
--verbose outputs debugging information. Increase the verbosity by giving several verbose commands such as -vv.
| -n
--no-redirect disable features that redirect queries from one server to another.
| -s
--no-whoisservers disable the built-in support for whois-servers.net.
| -a
--raw send query verbatim to receiving hosts instead of rewriting them

| -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.

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
entries 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.
