Thank you!

Would you mind clarifying a bit on what environments this can save time in (so that I can make sure I am understanding this feature)? I attempted to utilize it to scan a full /24. It has been 7 hours now and nmap still has not finished. The following is a snippet of an strace, it seems to be doing about 1 or 2 ports a second. Not great performance....  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

its about port-scanning a whole network first and then let the scanner
do the vulnerability scanning for each hosts.

In certain environments can save time compared to launching nmap
for each single host.

Its sort of experimental.
