💖 CYMRUWHOIS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for cymruwhois, a lil program from the General Commands Manual section of your system. it looks up IP addresses using the cymru whois service and honestly? it's giving useful. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

cymruwhois — a program to lookup ip addresses using the cymru whois service 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cymruwhois [options] files...

yes queen, you pass it some files and some options and it does the thing 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents the cymruwhois command briefly (Python 3). that's it, that's the description, we're keeping it short and cute like a text you send when you're already walking out the door 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, which means long options start with two dashes (-). yes, two. not one. the double dash is the moment, it's the main character energy of CLI conventions ✨

  • -h, --help — show a summary of options. the "help me bestie" button, iconic, always there for you 💜
  • -d DELIM, --delim=DELIM — pick a delimiter to use instead of justified. so if you don't want the justified output vibe, you hand it your own separator and it switches up 🎀
  • -f FIELDS, --fields=FIELDS — comma separated fields to include. the options are asn, ip, prefix, cc, and owner. pick your faves, mix and match, build your own lil lineup 💖
  • -c CACHE, --cache=CACHE — the memcache server to use. default is localhost, so if you're not hosting it somewhere fancy, it's already sorted for you 🌸
  • -n, --no-cache — don't use memcached. simple as that. no cache, no problems, just vibes 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

(yes there's a comma in the original and yes we are preserving it, we do not edit the sacred text 🙈)
