HubTou / whois

Internet domain name and network number directory service (BSD whois clone with caching)

Installation

Depending on if you want only this tool, the full set of PNU tools, or PNU plus a selection of additional third-parties tools, use one of these commands:

pip install pnu-whois
pip install PNU
pip install pytnix

WHOIS(1), WHOIS(3)

This repository includes a command-line utility (a portable BSD whois command clone, with enhancements):

• whois(1) - Internet domain name and network number directory service

And a Python library:

• whois(3) - Internet domain name and network number directory service

Both provide access to classical WHOIS servers (not HTTP servers with RDAP queries), with optional local caching of results.
