whob - a likable whois client

Description:

WhoB is a likable whois client (see whois(1)) designed to provide everything a
network engineer needs to know about a routed IP address by typing one line and
reading one line. But even so, it's worth typing a few more lines because WhoB
can do lots of other cool things for you! It can display the origin-ASN based
on the global routing table at that time (according to Prefix WhoIs, RIPE NCC,
or Cymru), the 'origin' ASN registered in the RADB (IRR), the netname and
orgname, etc. By querying pWhoIs, WhoB can even show you all prefixes being
announced by a specific Origin-ASN. WhoB performs the lookups quickly, the
output is easily parsed by automated programs, and it's included as part of the
Layer Four Traceroute (LFT) software package. LFT uses WhoB as a framework (and
you can too, quite easily--see whois.h). Recent LFT releases (as of version
2.5) include WhoB functionality through a standalone "whob" client/command
placed in the LFT binary directory.
