• -oA — Save the results in “normal”, “grepable”, and XML formats simultaneously. This option will automatically append meaningful extensions (the other options do not do this).
  • -oG — Save the results as “grepable” output. This is a compact format meant to automatically provide context when searched with grep.
  • -oN — Save results as “normal” output. This is more-or-less what Nmap will print to STDOUT.
  • -oX — Save the results as XML, designed to be importable by other applications.
