A lightweight Go CLI that fetches WHOIS records for domains from the terminal, optimized for quick, scriptable lookups.

brew tap bilalbaraz/tap
brew install bilalbaraz/tap/whois

whois lookup <domain> [flags]

• --raw Prints only the raw WHOIS response (no server header).
• --json Prints the response as JSON (parsed fields; falls back to raw when parsing fails).
• --server Manually set the WHOIS server (host only). Overrides automatic referral lookup.

No config file. All behavior is controlled via CLI flags.

• Errors are printed to stderr and exit with code 1 on invalid input.
