133 * jwhois version 4.0, Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
134 * -v, --verbose verbose debug output
135 * -c FILE, --config=FILE use FILE as configuration file
136 * -h HOST, --host=HOST explicitly query HOST
137 * -n, --no-redirect disable content redirection
138 * -s, --no-whoisservers disable whois-servers.net service support
139 * -a, --raw disable reformatting of the query
140 * -i, --display-redirections display all redirects instead of hiding them
141 * -p PORT, --port=PORT use port number PORT (in conjunction with HOST)
142 * -r, --rwhois force an rwhois query to be made
143 * --rwhois-display=DISPLAY sets the display option in rwhois queries
144 * --rwhois-limit=LIMIT sets the maximum number of matches to return
146 * Example of its output:
