Redaction Handling
This client supports the "redacted" extension documented in RFC 9537. However, RFC 9537 redactions are extremely complicated and often confusing to users. This client, when possible, will convert RFC 9537 redactions to "simpleRedactions".
Redaction Flags
The client supports several redaction flags that can be combined to control redaction behavior:
Highlight Simple Redactions
This flag highlights simple redactions in the output, making them more visible when displayed in terminals.
Show RFC 9537 Redaction Directives
This flag displays detailed RFC 9537 redaction directive information, including reasons and authorities.
Do Not Simplify RFC 9537 Redactions
This flag prevents RFC 9537 redactions from being converted to simple redactions, preserving the detailed directive information.
Process RFC 9537 Redactions
This flag enables full processing of RFC 9537 redactions, applying all specified redaction rules and directives.
Redaction Flag Combinations
You can combine multiple redaction flags using commas:
# Highlight simple redactions and show RFC 9537 directives
rdap --redaction-flag highlight-simple-redactions,show-rfc9537 example.com
# Process RFC 9537 redactions without simplifying them
rdap --redaction-flag do-rfc9537-redactions,do-not-simplify-rfc9537 example.com
