Description-en: Improved Caching Whois client
GNU jwhois is an Internet Whois client that queries hosts for
information according to RFC 954 - NICNAME/WHOIS. JWHOIS is configured
via a configuration file that contains information about all known Whois
servers. Upon execution, the host to query is selected based on the
information in the configuration file.
.
The configuration file is highly customizable and makes heavy use of
regular expressions.
