Usage

varwhois=require('whois')whois.lookup('google.com',function(err,data){console.log(data)})

You may pass an object in between the address and the callback function to tweak the behavior of the lookup function:

{"server": "",// this can be a string ("host:port") or an object with host and port as its keys; leaving it empty makes lookup rely on servers.json"follow": 2,// number of times to follow redirects"timeout": 0,// socket timeout, excluding this doesn't override any default timeout value"verbose": false// setting this to true returns an array of responses from all servers"proxy": {// (optional) SOCKS Proxy"ipaddress": "","port": 0,"type": 5// or 4}}
