| 1 | Searching portage, I find there are quite a number of alternative whois clients. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I think I have always used net-misc/whois in the past I now notice that a BSD whois is available, a "generic" and an advanced jwhois. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Presumably there are some differences between the functionality provided by these packages, can anyone tell me which is the "best", please? |
| 6 | |
| 7 | I use whois a lot for looking up the abuse address of a host, by IP address. Primarily I'd like to get up-to-date and useful results from something `whois 1.2.3.4 | grep -i abuse`. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | TIA for any help, |
