        This is a little helper script to emulate a local CNAME DNS by writing to ``/etc/hosts``.
        DNS changes (e.g. to rollout new services) can be tested by overwriting DNS names in the local ``/etc/hosts`` file.
        The hosts file only supports IP addresses thus making it cumbersome to emulate a DNS ``CNAME`` without a local DNS server/proxy.
        The ``local-cname`` is a very small script to automatically lookup DNS names and write IP addresses to the hosts file.
        It is self-contained and restores your local ``/etc/hosts`` file on exit (press CTRL+C).
        
        Installation:
        
        .. code-block::
        
            $ sudo pip install -U local-cname
        
        Usage:
        
        .. code-block::
        
            $ sudo local-cname FROM_DNS_NAME TO_DNS_NAME
              # press CTRL+C to cancel and restore your old /etc/hosts
        
        Example:
        
        .. code-block::
        
            $ sudo local-cname google.com duckduckgo.com
            $ ping google.com
