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
