+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.

+nmap: nmap (network scanner)
+nmap:
+nmap: Nmap ("Network Mapper") is an open source utility for network
+nmap: exploration or security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan
+nmap: large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap
+nmap: uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are
+nmap: available on the network, what services (ports) they are offering,
+nmap: what operating system (and OS version) they are running, what type of
+nmap: packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other
+nmap: characteristics. Nmap runs on most types of computers, and both
+nmap: console and graphical versions are available.
