Jwhois is an Internet Whois client that contains an extensible configuration
file which defines its operation. The client supports queries to foreign hosts
either through the RFC 954 - NICNAME/WHOIS protocol, the RFC 2167 - Referral
Whois 1.5 protocol, or HTTP using an external browser.

Upon execution, JWHOIS searches through the its configuration to find the most
specific whois server to query. Depending upon the reply from that whois
server, JWHOIS can assume the query was successfull and display the result to
the user, or optionally redirect the query to another server to find more
specific information.
