SYNOPSIS
  nicinfo [OPTIONS] QUERY_VALUE

SUMMARY
  NicInfo is a Registry Data Access Protocol (RDAP) client capable of querying RDAP
  servers containing IP address, Autonomous System, and Domain name information.

  The general usage is "nicinfo QUERY_VALUE" where the QUERY_VALUE is an IP address,
  autonomous system number, or domain name. The type of query to perform is implicitly
  determined but maybe explicitly set using the -t option. When the QUERY_VALUE is simply
  a dot or period character (e.g. "."), the IP address of the client is implied.

  Given the type of query to perform, this program will attempt to use the most appropriate
  RDAP server it can determine, and follow referrals from that server if necessary.
