whois:information:ip

Get information about an IP address.
$ whois ${ip-address}
try on your machine

This command is not valid. It appears to be attempting to use the "whois" command to look up information on an IP address represented as four sets of numbers separated by hyphens (such as "8-8-8-8"). However, IP addresses are typically represented with periods instead of hyphens (such as "8.8.8.8"), so this command would not provide any useful information.

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.
