0.5.7

Introduction

DCHK is the abbreviation of DomainavailabilityCHecK, and is an IRIS based protocol to query domain status. It is meant as a more formal replacement of the whois protocol.

Advantages of DCHK compared to whois:

Disadvantages:

This software contains a client implementation of the IrisLWZ- and DCHK-protocol, written in C and C++. It is divided in three parts:

  1. a library, which you can use in your own programs
  2. a command line client
  3. a graphical user interface (GUI)

As DCHK is a quite new protocol, the library contains some features to manipulate requests, which are not useful for general usage, but might be of some use if you want to test a servers behavior.

The library and clients are placed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (see License).
