Dear DBWG, Hope this email finds you in good health!
...i went through the whois db manual [1] and observed that it may need to be udated a bit. At least i found that the actual version [2] of the server accept three arguments available for the -q flag: (i) version; (ii) sources and (iii) types. __ [1]: <https://afrinic.net/support/whois/manual> [2]: 2.8.0 (0b333eb) The manual mentions only the two first arguments... ~°~ [...] 1.8 Other server features The AFRINIC Database server supports the retrieval of certain information about itself and the data sets served using a "-q" query flag. The "-q " flag takes arguments that make the server reply with information that is not extracted from the Databases it serves but rather about the system setup. This flag can currently take two arguments: *version (usage: -q version). Display version information for the server software. * sources (usage: -q sources). List all available sources. The format of the output is: <source>:<NRTM_protocol_version_#>:<mirroring>:<first>-<last> [...] ~°~ ...i hope that someone from AfriNIC's Staff, would take time to update the whois manual [1]. Thanks. Shalom, --sb.
