NAME

       cdist-type__hosts - manage entries in /etc/hosts

DESCRIPTION

       Add or remove entries from /etc/hosts file.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       state  If  state  is  present, make object_id resolve to ip. If state is absent, object_id
              will no longer resolve via /etc/hosts, if it was previously  configured  with  this
              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.

       alias  An alias for the hostname.  This parameter can be specified  multiple  times  (once
              per alias).

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

          __hosts srv1.example.com --ip 192.168.0.42 --alias srv1
