Hostman

A python application to manage a hosts file.

Getting started

Installation

Using pip package manager

$ pip install hostman

From source

$ git clone https://github.com/jonhadfield/hostman

$ cd hostman

$ python setup.py install

Usage

Options:

hostman add [-fqbvq] [--force] [--path=PATH]
            ( [ENTRY ...] | [--input-file=FILE] | [--input-url=URL] )
hostman remove [-qbvq] ([--address=<address>] [--names=<names>]) [--path=PATH]
               [--input-file=FILE] [--input-url=URL]
hostman --version

Note: if a path is not supplied, the application will attempt to detect the standard host file path based on the detected operating system being used.

$ sudo hostman add 5.6.7.8 example.com example.net

Remove all entries matching a specific address from the default hosts file:
