- whois help
- Produces a helpful message similar to the following:
-
- Please enter a name or a handle (``ident"), such as ``Smith"
- or ``SRI-NIC". Starting with a period forces a name-only
- search; starting with exclamation point forces handle-only.
- Examples:
- Smith [looks for name or handle SMITH ]
- !SRI-NIC [looks for handle SRI-NIC only ]
- .Smith, John [looks for name JOHN SMITH only ]
- Adding ``..." to the argument will match anything from that
- point, e.g. ``ZU..." will match ZUL, ZUM, etc.
-
- To have the ENTIRE membership list of a group or organiza-
- tion, if you are asking about a group or org, shown with the
- record, use an asterisk character `*' directly preceding the
- given argument. [CAUTION: If there are a lot of members
- this will take a long time!] You may of course use exclama-
- tion point and asterisk, or a period and asterisk together.
