Keywords Overview
WHOIS keywords fall into four categories: those that specify a FIELD
to be searched, those that specify the TYPE of record to be found,
those that modify the interpretation of the input or tell the type
of output to produce, and those that are commands, such as HELP,
QUIT, and so forth.
To tell WHOIS to restrict its search to ONLY a certain field in the
database, there are the following three keywords (shown with their
minimum abbreviation in all CAPS):
<![CDATA[ HAndle or '!' for example !lynn or HA lynn
NAme or leading '.' .lynn or NA lynn
Mailbox or contains '@' lynn@host
]]>To find only a certain TYPE of record, use one of the following:
<![CDATA[ Arpanet DOmain GAteway GRoup
HOst IMp MIlnet NEtwork
Organization PSn TAc
]]>See more on Names and Mailboxes . See section " Record types " for
detailed descriptions of the different record types. See section
" Output keywords " for a list of the input and output control keywords.
