+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hosts
+.Nd host name data base
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm hosts
+file contains information regarding the known hosts on the network.
+It can be used in conjunction with the DNS, and the
+.Tn NIS
+maps
+.Sq hosts.byaddr ,
+and
+.Sq hosts.byname ,
+as controlled by
+.Xr nsswitch.conf 5 .
+.Pp
+For each host a single line should be present
+with the following information:
+.Dl address hostname [alias ...]
+.Pp
+These are:
+.Bl -tag -width hostname -compact -offset indent
+.It Em address
+Internet address
+.It Em hostname
+Official host name
+.It Em alias
+Alias host name
+.El
+.Pp
+Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or
+tab characters.  A hash sign
+.Pq Dq \&#
+indicates the beginning of
+a comment; characters up to the end of the line are
+not interpreted by routines which search the file.
+.Pp
+When using the name server
+.Xr named 8 ,
+or
+.Xr ypserv 8 ,
+this file provides a backup when the name server
+is not running.
+For the name server, it is suggested that only a few addresses
+be included in this file.
+These include address for the local interfaces that
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+needs at boot time and a few machines on the local network.
+.Pp
+As network addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are allowed.
+IPv4 addresses are specified in the conventional dot
+.Pq Dq \&.
+notation using the
+.Xr inet_pton 3
+routine
+from the Internet address manipulation library,
+.Xr inet 3 .
+IPv6 addresses are specified in the standard hex-and-colon notation.
+Host names may contain any printable
+character other than a field delimiter, newline,
+or comment character.
