Host file tools written in Rust conceived while stuck at home during a pandemic.

This is all very preliminary. This is not presently fit for general consumption.

[default: base]
-c, --compare <COMPAREHOSTS> The hosts file to compare to the main hosts file
A shortcut code, full URL, or a path to a local file.
Use the -m option for the main comparison list.
Use the -clip option to use what is on the system clipboard.
See the documentation for the -m flag for a list of shortcut codes
--isolate <ISOLATE> The hosts list to isolate and compare to mainhosts
A shortcut code, full URL, or a path to a local file.
See the documentation for the -m flag for a list of shortcut codes
--ip <IPLOCALHOST> The ip address to use when listing hosts [default: 0.0.0.0]
-d, --default_hosts Add default hosts for when listing hosts. The default hosts will be placed at the top of hosts lists
-s, --sort Sort the domains. The sort order is domain, tdl, subdomain1, subdomain2, etc
-o, --output <OUTPUT> The output file. By default, output is to std out
-p, --plain Plain listing - domains only, without addresses, when listing domains
-q, --quiet Quiet, terse output mode. Outputs the number of domains only
--stats <STATS> Print statistics about the domains [possible values: true, false]
-i, --intersection Print the intersection of mainhosts and comparehosts
-r, --rootdomains List of root domains and their tally
-t, --tld Print a tally of top level domains found in the list
-l, --limit <LIMIT> Limit for listing TLD and root domains, 0 = unlimited [default: 30]
--skipheaders Omit the file comment headers in output
--showduplicates List duplicates when reporting on a hosts list
--invalid List invalid domains when reporting on a hosts list
--clip Use the contents of the system clipboard as compare hosts
-u, --unique List the unique domain names
-v, --verbose Verbose output, useful for development
--skipcache Do not use cache
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version informationThis is to be a full-featured swiss-knife for assessing and working with amalgamated hosts files.
Ultimately this will
- replace the python-based hosts build tools
- replace ghosts, the set of ancillary tools, written in Go, to assess various hosts lists,
Here is the list of tangible goals for the project.
- Extensible architecture so development can progress cleanly on many fronts.
- Collect and maintain historical statistics about amalgamated lists oriduced, and of the component lists that make up the amalgamated hosts.
- Ability to asses the impact of each list in the composition of amalgamated hosts.
- Ability to asses the impact of proposed additions to the amalgamated hosts.
- StevenBlack/hosts is my amalgamated hosts file, with custom variants, from various curated sources.
- StevenBlack/ghosts is a cli tool written in Go.
