Command line options
| Chapter 12. Zenmap GUI Users' Guide |
## Command line options Being a graphical application, most of Zenmap’s functionality is exposed through its graphical interface. Zenmap’s command line options are given here for completeness and because they are sometimes useful. In particular, it’s good to know that the command zenmap `results file` starts Zenmap with the results in `results file` already open. ### Synopsis `zenmap` [ `options` ] [ `results file` ] ### Option summary `-f`, `--file` `results file` Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may be an Nmap XML output file (`.xml`, as produced by nmap -oX) or a Umit scan results file (`.usr`). This option may be given more than once. `-h`, `--help` Show a help message and exit. `-n`, `--nmap` `Nmap command line` Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After `-n` or `--nmap`, every remaining command line argument is read as the command line to execute. This means that `-n` or `--nmap` must be given last, after any other options. Note that the command line must include the nmap executable name: zenmap -n nmap -sS target. `-p`, `--profile` `profile` Start with the given profile selected. The profile name is just a string: `"Regular scan"`. If combined with `-t`, begin a scan with the given profile against the specified target. `-t`, `--target` `target` Start with the given target. If combined with `-p`, begin a scan with the given profile against the specified target. `-v`, `--verbose` Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be given multiple times to get even more verbosity. Beware that verbose output is not shown on a terminal unless the environment variable `ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT` is defined and true. ### Output redirection and debugging Zenmap normally redirects its standard output and standard error streams to avoid printing lots of messages to a terminal. Sometimes, especially when there’s an error, you prefer to see those messages. To disable automatic output redirection, set the environment variable `ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT` (the value doesn’t matter.) Now output will be printed to the screen while Zenmap is running. Additionally, when `ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT` is defined automatic crash reporting is disabled. Combine `ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT` with the `-v` option to get more messages. Try ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT=1 zenmap -v -v -v to get a useful debugging output. On Windows, standard error is redirected to a file `zenmap.exe.log` in the same directory as `zenmap.exe`, instead of being printed on the console.
