<para>Warnings and errors printed by Nmap usually go only to
the screen (interactive output), leaving any specified
normal-format output files uncluttered. But when you do want
to see those messages in the normal output file you
specified, add this option. It is useful when you aren't
watching the interactive output or are trying to debug a
problem. The messages will also still appear in interactive
mode. This will not work for most errors related to bad
command-line arguments, as Nmap may not have initialized its
output files yet. In addition, some Nmap error/warning
messages use a different system that does not yet support
this option. An alternative to using this option is
the screen (interactive output), leaving any normal-format
output files (usually specified with <option>-oN</option>)
uncluttered. When you do want to see those messages in the
normal output file you specified, add this option. It is
useful when you aren't watching the interactive output or
when you want to record errors while debugging a problem.
The error and warning messages will still appear in
