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. + +.SH "EXAMPLE" +\\.nz$ nz.whois-servers.net +.br +# Hangul Korean TLD +.br +\\.xn--3e0b707e$ whois.kr + +.SH "FILES" +/etc/whois.conf + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +\fBwhois\fP(1) + +.SH "AUTHOR" +This manual page was written by Petr Písař <\fIppisar@redhat.com\fP> +and is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, +version 2 or higher. |
