Subject: [PATCH] Silent discard-qualifiers warnings in C23
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Since C23 string searching functions require the same constness
qualification of the returned pointer as was a qualification of the
input pointer. If there is a mismatch, GCC 16 warns like this:

    whois.c: In function ‘find_referral_server_arin’:
    whois.c:900:12: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
      900 |     if ((p = strstr(buf, "rwhois://")))
	  |            ^

This patch correts all the occurrences.
