This allows some targets to be skipped over yet remembered so they can
be dealt with later. The idea is that because ping groups are not
allowed
to have duplicate IPs, we continue searching for non-duplicates in order
to fill up a ping group, then return to what were formerly duplicates.
This prevents potentially large ping groups from being split into small
groups.
For example, if the list of targets is
A B C D A B E A F G
the ping groups used to be
(A B C D) (A B E) (A F G)
but now they are
(A B C D E F G) (A B) (A]
A similar thing can be done for port scan hostgroups, but this already
does most of the work because ping groups are generally bigger than
hostgroups and have pretty much the same restrictions.
Here is some documentation for Nmap, but these files are much less comprehensive than what you'll find at the actual Nmap documentation site ( http://nmap.org ).
