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 configuration 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 giving several verbose commands to jwhois, 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 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 DISPLAY 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
       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.
