.TH "WHOIS.CONF" "5" "2019-12-30" "Petr Písař" "Debian GNU/Linux"
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
whois.conf \- alternative WHOIS servers list for whois client
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /etc/whois.conf
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This file contains a list of WHOIS servers which can augment or override
|
|
the built-in list of the client.
|
|
|
|
It's a plain text file in ASCII encoding. Each line consists of two fields:
|
|
a pattern to match WHOIS object identifier and a corresponding WHOIS server
|
|
domain name.
|
|
|
|
Fields are separated by non-empty sequence of space or a tabular characters.
|
|
A line starting with a hash character is a free comment and it's not
|
|
considered.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is case-insensitive extended regular expression if whois client
|
|
has been compiled with POSIX regular expressions support. Otherwise, simple
|
|
case-insensitive suffix comparison against WHOIS object identifier is used.
|
|
|
|
Internationalized domain names (IDN) must be specified in ascii-compatible
|
|
encoding (ACE) format.
