Description

Hosts-file entries can be grouped and switched from the terminal.

It is useful for developers and administrators who need local hostname overrides for testing, blocking, or environment switching. Changes to `/etc/hosts` affect name resolution for the whole system, so mistakes can break websites, services, or internal tools.
