During the execution of Nmap, all key presses are
captured. This allows you to interact with the program
without aborting and restarting it. Certain special
keys will change options, while any other keys will print out a
status message telling you about the scan. The convention is
that
lowercase letters increase the
amount of printing, and
uppercase letters decrease the
printing. You may also press ‘?’ for help.
