Hi,
I am looking for a way to write etc/hosts file.
Is there any APIS for search/delete/insert/update for entries ? or behave
hosts as a normal file ?

thanks in advance

It's a text file. Pretty much every language under the sun has
capabilities to read/write a text file a line at a time. Not rocket
science, but might be a little tedious.

..NET has easy to use APIs like the TextWriter class.
Just be sure that you have the appropriate permissions.
I think you have to run with admin privileges.

system32/drivers/etc/hosts is a normal text file, the only additional thing
you need to worry about is that the DNS client service might cache the
contents. "ipconfig /flushdns" is the command to expire the cache
immediately, I don't know the equivalent API.
