whois 5.5.6 Intelligent client for the WHOIS directory service
whois searches for an object in a WHOIS (RFC 3912) database. It is commonly used to look up the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system. It can automatically select the appropriate server for most queries.
For historical reasons, this package also includes mkpasswd
, which encrypts passwords using crypt(3)
and is unrelated to the Expect command of the same name.
