Hi,
 
I personally recommend the database documentation over asking a hallucination 
generator to come up with a human sounding text, especially for niche subjects. 
Yet, it is not entirely false, as you can do exactly this in IRRDv4, e.g. `-i 
members AS378` against rr.ntt.net <http://rr.ntt.net/>, or 
https://rr.ntt.net/v1/whois/?q=-i%20members%20AS378 (or another IRRD instance). 
Might be more practical if you want to automate.

Or, save yourself the RPSL parsing and use GraphQL on e.g. 
https://rr.ntt.net/graphql/:
```
query {
  rpslObjects(members: "AS378") {
    rpslPk
    source
    mntBy
    ... on RPSLAsSet {
      descr
    }
  }
}
```

IRRexplorer runs roughly that GraphQL query in the background for the as-set 
membership table. Plus a check on `member-of` on the aut-num/as-set.
