# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

nmap: available on the network, what services (ports) they are offering,
nmap: what operating system (and OS version) they are running, what type
nmap: of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other
nmap: characteristics.
