Use `The .Nm utility'

Fix a typo. Don't call options flags. Remove some documentation that
is no longer applicable to whois. Bump document date.

Use whois.example.com rather than non-existent.host in an example.

Remove a trailing space at the end of a line.

o Remove examples from throughout the manual.
o Create an EXAMPLES section.
o In some places change "ru" to "RU" to be consistent.

mdoc(7) police: bump document date for the previous delta.

o Move APNIC flag from -p to -A. Since, -p is usually associated
with specifying a port.
o Add the -p flag for specifying a port. (PR: 28790) This is
useful for querying rwhois servers. Example:
whois -h rwhois.exodus.net -p rwhois 216.136.180.0
o Add the -c flag which allows one to get the same whois server
that would normally be determined if no arguments were specified.
(Concept based on work by phantom, requested by ache) Example:
whois -c ru TCNET-MNT-RIPN
o Deprecate -R flag in favour of -c ru.

Implement recursive IP address searches based on the results of a
query to ARIN.

PR: 28426
Submitted by: Mike Barcroft <mike@q9media.com>

Direct queries for IP numbers to ARIN. It would be nice if we could
send them to APNIC/RIPE intelligently, but we can't at this time so
fallback to ARIN and depend on them telling the user where to look.

Maybe we need a .whoisrc file...

mdoc(7) police: fix markup.

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.

Tell people how to look up NIC handle information these days (for the two
cases I know about -- Netsol and ARIN).

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Fix typos

Mention the '6' flag in the flags summary. (Forgotten in the last commit).

Rewrite of the manual page to make it clear that NSI and InterNIC
are no longer the same organisation.

Added a -6 option to lookup information using the whois.6bone.net
database.

PR: misc/10803 misc/10804

Merge with OpenBSD whois (with bugfixes missed there)

New features are:
Automatic lookup using *.whois-servers.net
Recursive lookup using Registrar's name
Fallback to InterNIC for non-domains
-m for RADB database
-Q to turn recursion/fallback off

Obtained from: OpenBSD

Change default to whois.crsnic.net - new Central Shared Registry for domains
Move InterNIC to -i option

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Add -R for .RU domains

Update the -d flag to use the new .MIL NIC address (from PR 9802)
and add a -g flag to use the new .GOV NIC. Also convert the
SEE ALSO reference into a proper bibliographic one.

PR: 9802 (in part)
