.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B whois
|
|
searches for an object in the RIPE Network Management database.
|
|
The key can be either a name (such as "Karrenberg"),a nic-handle
|
|
(such as "DK58"),
|
|
a network number ("192.87.45.0/24") or a domain name ("ripe.net").
|
|
|
|
This version of the whois client works with a version of the RIPE
|
|
database whois server that supports classless IP addresses.
|
|
All IP network numbers are considered classless IP network numbers of
|
|
the form prefix/length, like 192.87.45.0/24 for a class C sized network
|
|
number and 128.86.0.0/16 for a class B sized network number. Any
|
|
length can be given. If no length is given, the server assumes a host
|
|
lookup (ie length 32).
|
|
|
|
By default, the server will return the first less specific network
|
|
number, which can be an exact match if available in the database.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
This causes the server to include information from
|
|
non-RIPE whois databases in the reply. Currently these are the public
|
|
parts of the US NIC and NSFnet databases. Please note that the RIPE
|
|
NCC does not maintain these databases. The information is included for
|
|
for your convenience only.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-F
|
|
fast output. Force the whois server to not reformat the output. This
|
|
can save time for large objects. The output of the RIPE whois server
|
|
will be in two letter short form. This option implies -r.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-h host
|
|
Select alternate host to direct the query
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-p port
|
|
Connect to port 'port'
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
lookup all less specific networks. Has effect only when looking up IP
|
|
network numbers.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-m
|
|
lookup first level more specific networks. Has effect only when
|
|
looking up IP network numbers.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-M
|
|
lookup all more specific networks. Has effect only when looking up IP
|
|
network numbers.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
non-recursive lookup. This will cause the server to not lookup
|
|
referenced objects.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-R
|
|
suppress referrals. Forces local copy of a domain object to be shown
|
|
even if it contains referral.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-i attributes
|
|
attributes is a comma separated list of attributes.
|
|
the whois server will return all objects that match the search keys
|
|
in one of these attributes.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-s sources
|
|
sources is a comma separated list of database sources.
|
|
The whois server will only search the databases that match the
|
|
specified sources.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-S
|
|
requests the server to leave out "syntactic sugar" that may normally
|
|
be inserted in some database objects.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-t type
|
|
requests the server to send a template for an object with type "type".
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-v type
|
|
requests the server to send a verbose template for an object with type "type".
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-T types
|
|
types is a comma separated list of object types.
|
|
requests the server to only send back objects that match one of the "types".
