In 1999 I wrote this Whois client from scratch because the alternatives
|
|
were obsolete or bloated.
|
|
|
|
This client is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate
|
|
whois server for most queries.
|
|
|
|
The internal database is often more accurate than IANA's published one,
|
|
but please send me any information you have regarding domains and network
|
|
resources which are not correctly handled by the program.
|
|
|
|
Because of historical reasons this package also contains the mkpasswd
|
|
program, which can be used to encrypt a password with crypt(3).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The canonical distribution point for releases of the program is
|
|
https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/ .
