Improved whois support for GNU Emacs
This package complements (does not replace) the standard whois functionality of GNU Emacs. It provides:
-
A
whois-mode
with font-lock highlighting to make whois responses easier to read. -
A
whois-shell
command to make a whois query using the system whois program instead of Emacs' own (often not up to date) whois client. -
A
whois-expand
command to repeat the last whois query using the domain registrar's own whois server.
To replace Emacs' own whois
command with the one from this package:
(when (require 'whois nil t) (defalias 'whois 'whois-shell))
