 Invocation
 **********
 
    JWHOIS uses the following command-line options:
 `--version'
      Print the program version and licensing information.
 
 `--help'
      Print a usage message summarizing the command-line options.
 
 `-c FILE'
 
 `--config=FILE'
      Reads configuration from FILE instead of from the default system
      global configuration file.
 
 `-h HOST'
 
 `--host=HOST'
      Overrides any specifications in the configuration file and queries
      HOST directly.
 
 `-p PORT'
 
 `--port=PORT'
      Specifies a port number to use when querying a HOST
 
 `-f'
 
 `--force-lookup'
      Forces a query to be made to a host even if a current object is
      available from the cache.
 
 `-v'
 
 `--verbose'
      Outputs verbose debugging information while running (use this
      before sending a bugreport to ensure that it's indeed a bug and
      not a misconfiguration). You can increase the verbosity by giving
      several verbose commands to jwhois, such as `-vv'.
 
 `-n'
 
 `--no-redirect'
      Disable features that redirect queries from one server to another.
 
 `-s'
 
 `--no-whoisservers'
      Disable the built-in support for whois-servers.net.
 
 `-a'
 
 `--raw'
      Send query verbatim to receiving hosts instead of rewriting them
      according to the configuration.
 
 `-i'
 
 `--display-redirections'
      Display every step in a redirection (default is to display only the
      last answer).
 
 `-d'
 
 `--disable-cache'
      Completely disable both reading and writing to cache
 
 `-r'
 
 `--rwhois'
      Force the query to use the rwhois protocoll instead of HTTP or
      whois.
 
 `--rwhois-display=DISPLAY'
      Asks receiving rwhois servers to display the results in the
      DISPLAY display instead of the default dump display.
 
 `--rwhois-limit=LIMIT'
      asks receiving rwhois servers to limit their responses to LIMIT
      matches.
 
    The query can optionally contain the character `@' followed by a
 host name to direct the search to that host. This works exactly like
 specifying the host with `--host' or `-h'.
