provided by Dan Pollock

Example

-------

Run the script with no arguments to pull and install the latest host file.

This script does not need to be run as root, as it will attempt to install

the host file with `sudo` if it fails at first.

    $ ./someonewhocares

    > pulling latest host file from http://someonewhocares.org/hosts//hosts... done

    > validating host file... passed

    > installing new host file

    tee: /etc/hosts: Permission denied

    > failed - retrying with sudo

The host file downloaded is automatically validated to ensure that each IP

address is `127.0.0.1`, `255.255.255.255`, `0.0.0.0`, `::1`, or `fe80::1%lo0`

before being installed.

Usage

-----

    $ someonewhocares

    usage: someonewhocares [options]

    pull and install the latest host file from someonewhocares.org

    options

      -h           print this message and exit

      -t     the host file type to pull, can be [ipv6, zero], leave blank for default
