+      The second part of the Nmap Scripting Engine is the NSE Library, which
       connects Lua and Nmap. This layer
       handles issues such as initialization of the Lua interpreter, 
       scheduling of parallel script execution, script retrieval and
       more. It is also the heart of the NSE network I/O framework and the
