A graphical user interface is included in this distribution. Please see the installation guide if you want to compile the GUI by yourself. When you start the GUI, you will find a window with four tabs:
The Query Page is the main page where you enter your domains, start the query and see the results
The following table explains the meaning of the status keyword and compares it with the output of the german whois:
Status DCHK | Description | Status whois |
---|---|---|
active | the domain is registered and connected | connect |
inactive | the domain is registered but not connected (no DNS entries) | failed |
reserved | the domain is reserved and is not available for registration under normal registration procedures | not used |
free | the domain is free and can be registered. "free" is not a status defined in RFC 5144, it's a translation from the client from the error message "nameNotFound" described in RFC 3981, chapter 4.2. | free |
invalid | the domain name is not valid and cannot be registered. Again, this is not a status defined in RFC 5144, it's a translation of the client from the error message "invalidName" described in RFC 3981, chapter 4.2. | invalid or blocked |
