.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.
