SYNOPSIS
	 use Whois;

	 $whois = new Whois('Host' => 'whois.ripe.net');

	die($whois->GetError()) if($whois->GetError());

DESCRIPTION
       Stub documentation for Whois was created by h2xs. It looks like the author of the extension was negligent enough to leave the stub
       unedited.

       Blah blah blah.
