What were you trying to do?

        Refer someone to the whois man page for information on the
        -h option.

What's wrong:

        It isn't documented.

What should have happened:

        It should have been documented. For example, the decmips man
        page says:

     -h servername  Specifies the whois server on a host other than the
                    default (NIC.DDN.MIL).

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

        whois(1)
