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. + +.SH EXAMPLE +\\.nz$ nz.whois-servers.net +.br +# Hangul Korean TLD +.br +\\.xn--3e0b707e$ whois.kr +.br +# Private ASNs +.br +^as645(1[2-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-4])$ whois.example.net + +.SH FILES +/etc/whois.conf + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR whois (1) + +.SH AUTHOR +This manual page was written by Petr Písař +.RI < ppisar@redhat.com > +and is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, +version 2 or higher. +\" SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later |
