whois:information:domain

Get information about a domain name.
$ whois ${domain-name}
try on your machine

This command is used to obtain information about the registration of a domain name.

The ${example-com} is a placeholder for the actual domain name. For example, if you want to check the information about the registration of the domain name "google.com", you would type "whois google.com" instead of "whois ${example-com}".

The output of the command may include details such as the domain name registration date, the domain name owner's contact information, the domain name server information, and more.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
