Hi, all !
We are contemplating changing the output of the "-t"
option of "whois" to give more information. Please
inform us if you write or use tools based on this
output.
Example:
The current output for "-t person" is
person: [mandatory] [single]
address: [mandatory] [multiple]
phone: [mandatory] [multiple]
fax-no: [optional] [multiple]
e-mail: [optional] [multiple]
nic-hdl: [optional] [single]
remarks: [optional] [multiple]
notify: [optional] [multiple]
mnt-by: [optional] [multiple]
changed: [mandatory] [multiple]
source: [mandatory] [single]
the new output would be
person: [mandatory] [single] [look-up key]
address: [mandatory] [multiple] *
phone: [mandatory] [multiple] *
fax-no: [optional] [multiple] *
e-mail: [optional] [multiple] [look-up key]
nic-hdl: [optional] [single] [look-up key]
remarks: [optional] [multiple] *
notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key]
mnt-by: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key]
changed: [mandatory] [multiple] *
source: [mandatory] [single] *
where [look-up key] indicates that you use this
attribute as an argument to whois and [inverse key]
indicates that you can use the attribute as an
argument to whois -i.
If you have anymore questions, please contact
<ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.

Ambrose Magee
