if a class B sized target address space (/16) is specified

That second option character in <option>-PN</option> is a
zero and not the letter O. Proper host discovery is skipped
as with the list scan, but instead of stopping and printing
the target list, Nmap continues to perform requested
functions as if each target IP is active. For machines on a

(unless <option>--send-ip</option> is specified) because
