7

DESCRIPTION

9       Add or remove entries from /etc/hosts file.
10

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

12       state  If  state  is present, make object_id resolve to ip. If state is
13              absent, object_id will no longer resolve via /etc/hosts,  if  it
14              was previously configured with this type.  Manually inserted en‐
15              tries are unaffected.
16
17       ip     IP address, to which  hostname  (=object_id)  must  resolve.  If
18              state  is  present, this parameter is mandatory, if state is ab‐
19              sent, this parameter is silently ignored.
20
21       alias  An alias for the hostname.  This parameter can be specified mul‐
22              tiple times (once per alias).

EXAMPLES

25          # Now `funny' resolves to 192.168.1.76,
26          __hosts funny --ip 192.168.1.76
27          # and `happy' no longer resolve via /etc/hosts if it was
28          # previously configured via __hosts.
29          __hosts happy --state absent
30
