This establishes a more regular syntax for some options that disable phases of a scan: -n no reverse DNS -Pn no host discovery -sn no port scan Also, the -sP was possibly misleading because the 'P' suggests "ping scan," when you can now do more than just pinging when you disable port scanning. For example, -sC -sn and -sn -Pn --traceroute make sense.
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 ).
