Most likely this is more a case of ARIN refusing to maintain a decent UI on command-line whois and focusing all their efforts on the RESTful interface on the web server…
Here’s what I get from that: Net Range 45.192.0.0 - 45.222.255.255 CIDR 45.192.0.0/12 45.208.0.0/13 45.216.0.0/14 45.220.0.0/15 45.222.0.0/16 Name AFRINIC Handle NET-45-192-0-0-1 Parent NET45 (NET-45-0-0-0-0 <http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-45-0-0-0-0.html>) Net Type Transferred to AfriNIC Origin AS Organization African Network Information Center (AFRINIC <http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/AFRINIC.html>) Registration Date 2014-05-22 Last Updated 2015-02-26 Comments RESTful Link http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-45-192-0-0-1 <http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-45-192-0-0-1> See Also Related organization's POC records. <http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/AFRINIC/pocs> See Also Related delegations. <http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-45-192-0-0-1/rdns> Organization Name African Network Information Center Handle AFRINIC Street Level 11ABC Raffles Tower Lot 19, Cybercity City Ebene State/Province Postal Code Country MU Registration Date 2004-05-17 Last Updated 2010-06-28 Comments AfriNIC - http://www.afrinic.net The African & Indian Ocean Internet Registry RESTful Link http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/AFRINIC <http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/AFRINIC> Referral Server whois://whois.afrinic.net:43 Function Point of Contact Tech GENER11-ARIN (GENER11-ARIN <http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/GENER11-ARIN.html>) Admin GENER11-ARIN (GENER11-ARIN <http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/GENER11-ARIN.html>) Abuse GENER11-ARIN (GENER11-ARIN <http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/GENER11-ARIN.html>) It would be nice if ARIN would fix the command line whois server, but so far, my efforts to get them to do so have been fruitless.
