DESCRIPTION

       Add or remove entries from /etc/hosts file.

              type.  Manually inserted entries are unaffected.

       ip     IP  address, to which hostname (=object_id) must resolve. If state is present, this
              parameter is mandatory, if state is absent, this parameter is silently ignored.

EXAMPLES

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