Command Line Interface

Command Line Execution

The scan related functions can all be executed via direct command line parameter calls. The scan2reports binaries all include an option to display the 'help' file by calling the -h parameter. The general order of the command line execution parameters is:

usage: scans2reports.exe [-i] [-fd] [-g] [-hd] [-l] [--mitigation-statements {blank,poam,ckl,both}] [--predisposing-conditions PREDISPOSING_CONDITIONS] [-s] [--test-results {add,convert,close}] [-t THREADS] [-x EXCLUDE_PLUGINS] [-c COMMAND] [-e EMAIL] [-n NAME] [-p PHONE] [-h] [input_folder]
