#### TC Hosts Editor - Visual /etc/hosts manager, validator & DNS tester

An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Hosts File Editor for
inspecting, editing, validating, testing, and organizing /etc/hosts entries
and named host profiles on Linux desktops and workstations.

Key Features:

* Real System /etc/hosts Parser: Reads /etc/hosts directly from the Linux host
  filesystem, distinguishing active mappings, commented-out disabled mappings,
  and preserved header comments.
* Structured Table Editor & Validator: Edit IP addresses, primary hostnames,
  aliases, comments, and enabled toggles with instant IPv4/IPv6 syntax checks
  (Python ipaddress), RFC hostname validation, and duplicate conflict alerts.
* Live DNS Resolution & Socket Latency Tester: Measure real getaddrinfo DNS
  resolution results, address families, and TCP socket connection latency (ms)
  alongside live /etc/resolv.conf nameserver inspection.
* Named Profile Manager: Save, load, compare, and switch named hosts profiles
  stored in the user configuration directory, and export clean hosts files,
  CSV/JSON reports, or ready-to-run sudo cp apply commands.
* Bilingual Interface: Switch instantly between Vietnamese and English.
