WHOIS (pronounced as the phrase who is) is a query and response protocol that is widely used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system, but is also used for a wider range of other information.

The protocol stores and delivers database content in a human-readable format.

The WHOIS protocol is documented in RFC 3912.
