%
% -L, --all-less <ip-lookup>

% objects, including exact matches.
%
% -m, --one-more <ip-lookup>
% Returns first level more specific inetnum, inet6num or route(6)
% objects, excluding exact matches.
%
% -M, --all-more <ip-lookup>

% objects, excluding exact matches.
%
% -C, --no-irt <ip-lookup>

%
% -c, --irt <ip-lookup>
% Requests first level less specific inetnum or inet6num objects with
% the "mnt-irt:" attribute (enabled by default).
%
% -b, --abuse-contact <ip-lookup>

%
% -a, --all-sources

% -s, --sources (comma separated list of sources, no white space is allowed)
% Specifies which sources and in which order are to be looked up when
% performing a query.
%
% -q (sources|version|types)
% "sources" see list-sources.
% "version" see version.
%
