is there no parm to whois which results only in the specific answer, not also the org: person: and grandmother: objects? i want it irrespective of object type i am looking up.
``` whois -h whois.ripe.net -r -T inetnum 147.28.0.0/16 | egrep -v '^($|%)' ``` is opbject-type specific
I'm not sure what you mean, exactly what you mean, but... The '-r' flag seems to disable related answers and is not type-specific. You can use the '-x' flag to prevent searching for less-specific matches, which is the default behavior. I believe this applies for all hierarchical types (so at least inet6num, route6, inetnum, route, as-block, and domain object types). You may want to still couple the '-x' with '-T', since you can end up with inetnum and route objects returned, or aut-num and as-block. Cheers, -- Shane
