NAME
       tel, iwhois - look in phone book

SYNOPSIS
       tel key ...

       iwhois name[@domain]

DESCRIPTION
       Tel looks up key in a private telephone book, $home/lib/tel, and in the
       public telephone book, /lib/tel.	 It uses grep (with the -i  option  to
       ignore  case differences), so the key may be any part of a name or num‐
       ber.  Customarily, the telephone book  contains	names,	userids,  home
       numbers,	 and office numbers of users.  It also contains a directory of
       area codes and miscellaneous people of general interest.

       Iwhois looks up names in the Internet NIC's personnel  database.	  Name
       should  be  a surname optionally followed by a comma and given name.  A
       different server can be chosen by appending to the name an  @  followed
       by the server's domain name.
