## Generate your own amalgamated hosts file
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate an amalgamated hosts file
versions (from locations defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), otherwise it will use the
`hosts` file that's already there.
-**Usage**
+### Usage
Using Python 3:
- python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]
+ python3 updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
Using Python 2.7:
- python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]
+ python updateHostsFile.py [--auto] [--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] [--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3]
Command line options:
* Host data sources are updated.
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced.
-`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+`--ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`, `--i nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn`: the IP address to use as the target. Default is `0.0.0.0`.
+
+`--extensions ext1 ext2 ext3`, `-e ext1 ext2 ext3`: the names of subfolders below the `extensions` folder containing
+other hosts collections to include. Example: `--extensions porn` or `-e porn`.
+`--help`, `-h`: display help.
## How do I control which sources are amalgamated?
