-v (Increase verbosity level) .
Increases the verbosity level, causing Nmap to print more information about the scan in progress.
Open ports are shown as they are found and completion time estimates are provided when Nmap thinks a
scan will take more than a few minutes. Use it twice or more for even greater verbosity.
Most changes only affect interactive output, and some also affect normal and script kiddie output.
The other output types are meant to be processed by machines, so Nmap can give substantial detail by
default in those formats without fatiguing a human user. However, there are a few changes in other
modes where output size can be reduced substantially by omitting some detail. For example, a comment
line in the grepable output that provides a list of all ports scanned is only printed in verbose mode
because it can be quite long.
