Machine-readable output for scripts and frontends, and reliable exit codes:

  • --json Output: Add --json to -s or -p for one JSON object per line (start, host, host_detail, port, summary, error). Scripts and frontends such as NetScannerDesktop no longer have to scrape the human-readable text. Hostnames and manufacturer names are JSON-escaped. See docs/README.md for the format.
  • Exit Codes: Invalid input now exits with status 1 (it used to exit 0), so scripts can tell a failure from a scan that found nothing. A malformed subnet now gives a clear message instead of a raw error trace. ⚠️ Behavior change for scripts that relied on exit 0.
  • Redirected Output Fixed: ns -s ... > hosts.txt no longer garbles the file. Every line used to be written at the start of the file, overwriting the previous one. Pipes and terminals were not affected.
  • macOS Builds: zig build no longer prints "replacing existing signature" on every run.

Assets Included

  • windows.zip: Windows x86_64 standalone executable (ns.exe)
  • linux-x86_64.zip: Linux x86_64 standalone binary (ns)
  • linux-arm64.zip: Linux ARM64 standalone binary (ns)
  • macos-arm64.zip / macos-x86_64.zip: coming shortly. macOS binaries must be built and codesigned on a Mac; without the signature, macOS hides the ARP table.
