💖 CYMRUWHOIS(1) 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this is the manual page for cymruwhois, a General Commands Manual situation. It's short, it's sweet, and it's gonna look up your IP addresses for you. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

cymruwhois — a whole program for looking up ip addresses using the cymru whois service. that's the vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cymruwhois [options] files...

yes, files. plural. it's giving "feed me many things" energy 🍓

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So this manual page documents briefly the cymruwhois command. Brief. Iconic. We're not doing a whole essay, we're doing a vibe check 💅

And then, the raw truth:

cymruwhois is a program that...

bestie. that's it. that's the sentence. it just ends. the ellipsis is doing SO much heavy lifting here 😭 but we respect it, we don't invent lore that isn't there, no cap.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). classic GNU behavior, we love consistency ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you a summary of the options. ur lil cheat sheet, go off 🫶
  • -d DELIM, --delim=DELIM — the delimiter to use instead of justified. you want a custom separator? say less, queen.
  • -f FIELDS, --fields=FIELDS — comma separated fields to include, and the choices are (asn,ip,prefix,cc,owner). pick ur faves, mix and match, it's a build-your-own situation 🌈
  • -c CACHE, --cache=CACHE — the memcache server, and the default is localhost. home sweet home 🏠
  • -n, --no-cache — don't use memcached. raw dogging the network, respect 💀
