Which option provides help for using NMAP scripts from the command line?

• A. --help
• B. --script-help
• C. --man
• D. --script-usage

Answer: (B)

When you need guidance on how to use Nmap’s scripting engine from the command line, look for script-specific help. The best option is the script-help flag. Running the command with this flag shows a list of NSE scripts and short descriptions, and you can add a script name to see its detailed usage, required or optional arguments, and examples. For example, requesting help for a particular script will reveal what data it collects, what parameters you can tweak, and how to invoke it correctly in scans.

This is more precise for scripting than the general help option, which only covers overall Nmap usage. Manual pages can be helpful but aren’t always readily available or as quick for quick lookups. The script-usage option isn’t the standard path for getting comprehensive script documentation, so using script-help is the most direct and reliable method.
