###Begin excerpt from hosts.5 :
The hosts file contains information regarding the known hosts on the net-
work. For each host a single line should be present with the following
information:
Internet address
official host name
aliases
Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A
``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.
###End excerpt
