bgptools-cli

A command-line tool to look up BGP information from bgp.tools via whois.

Install

Homebrew

brew tap olerap/tap https://git.oles.network/olerap/homebrew-tap.git
brew trust olerap/tap
brew install olerap/tap/bgptools

The brew trust step is required since Homebrew 6, which only loads formulae from third-party taps after you explicitly trust them.
