The WhoisClient class library provides an interface for requesting registration information for an Internet domain name. When a domain name is registered, the organization that registers the domain must provide certain contact information along with technical information such as the primary name servers for that domain. This class provides an interface for requesting that information and returning it to the program so that it can be displayed or processed. This class would be most commonly used to query the Whois server at whois.internic.net to obtain information about a specific Internet domain name or an administrative contact at that domain.
