<para>This option tells Nmap to only perform a ping scan
(host discovery), then print out the available hosts
that responded to the scan. If requested, Traceroute and
NSE host scripts can be run against the target after the

port scanning or OS detection) is performed. This is by

used for the same purposes. It allows light reconnaissance
of a target network without attracting much attention.
Knowing how many hosts are up is more valuable to attackers
than the list provided by list scan of every single IP and host name.</para>
