library for whois ???
|
|
|
| Hey folks,
I'm writing a C++ application. I was wondering if there is a C++ library
that allows me to make whois calls and store the results in a datastructure
of some kind.
I know windows has these libraries, but not sure about the unixes or
linuxes.
Anyone know if this is possible and if so what library is used?
Thanks a lot!

| If you are working on Unix now, you can look up the function by using
"grep".
As I remember, there is a similar C function. You can call it in your C++
application.

Huh? Don't you mean "man"? Grep is used for searching for a string in a
text file.

I've never heard of such a function being a standard, or even common, part
of Unix. You can use system() or popen() to run the "whois" shell command,
but that's it.
If there's a functional interface, it's in a third-party library.
