Notes

This project is standing by while I am developing others. Anyway, if you want to contribute, I will help you ;).

Requirements

This project is self-contained and it doesn't have any requirement.

It is being developed and tested on Erlang/OTP 17.

Installation

API

whois.erl is an OTP application, with its own supervisor. TODO? That supervisor uses an ETS table whois_server for keeping the state of the requests and responses.

TODO async...

TlRecord = whois:lookup("domain.com").

TldRecord = whois:lookup(<<"sub.domain.com">>).

TldRecord

TldRecord

Server

Instead of using whois:lookup/1, which involves preparing the module on every call, it is possible to run a server, and query it directly: TODO

Pid = whois_server:start(Options),

receive
  {ok, TldRecords} ->
    other:action(TldRecords),
    loop();
  {error, Reason} ->
    Reason
end,

Pid ! {whois, "domain.com"},
%% Pid ! {whois, ["domain1.com", "domain2.com"]},
whois_server:start:stop().

Data

You can update it, indepently of the rhythm of this project, using TODO.
