-- Utility functions to add new discovered targets to Nmap scan queue.
--
-- The library lets scripts to add new discovered targets to Nmap scan
-- queue. Only scripts that run in the script pre-scanning phase
-- (prerule) and the script scanning phase (hostrule and portrule) are
-- able to add new targets. Post-scanning scripts (postrule) are not
-- allowed to add new targets.
--
-- @copyright Same as Nmap--See https://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html
--
-- @args newtargets  If specified, lets NSE scripts add new targets.
-- @args max-newtargets  Sets the number of the maximum allowed
--                       new targets. If set to 0 or less then there
--                       is no limit. The default value is 0.

-- This is a special variable and it is a global one, so

-- before calling target.add() function.
-- This variable will be set to true if the script argument
-- 'newtargets' was specified.

-- @param targets  A variable number of targets. Target is a
-- string that represents an IP or a Hostname. If this function
-- is called without target arguments then it will return true
-- and the number of pending targets (waiting to be scanned).

-- local status, err = target.add("192.168.1.1")

-- local status, pending_targets = target.add()
-- @return True if it has been able to add a minimum one target, or
--         False on failures and if no targets were added. If this
--         function is called without target arguments then it will
--         return true.
-- @return Number of added targets on success, or a string error
--         message in case of failures. If this function is called
--         without target arguments then it will return the number
--         of targets that are in the queue (waiting to be scanned).
