        e.g.)
        IP address: whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp  192.168.0.0
                    whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp  2001:db8::
        ASN       : whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp  AS 2515
        PERSON    : whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp  XX9999JP
        GROUP     : whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp  JP11111111

To restrict the search to a certain type of information:
