# Installation
Once you have installed [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and its packages manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/),
use one of the following commands, depending on if you want only this tool, the full set of PNU tools, or PNU plus a selection of additional third-parties tools:

pip install [pnu_whois](https://pypi.org/project/pnu_whois/)
<br>
pip install [PNU](https://pypi.org/project/PNU/)
<br>
pip install [pytnix](https://pypi.org/project/pytnix/)

# WHOIS(1), WHOIS(3)
This repository includes a command-line utility (**a portable BSD whois command clone, with enhancements**):
* [whois(1)](https://github.com/HubTou/whois/blob/main/WHOIS.1.md) - Internet domain name and network number directory service

And a Python library:
* [whois(3)](https://github.com/HubTou/whois/blob/main/WHOIS.3.md) - Internet domain name and network number directory service

Both provide access to classical WHOIS servers (not HTTP servers with RDAP queries), with optional **local caching of results**.
