Problem
Currently, there is no way for the library caller to retrieve the process ID (PID) of the running nmap scan, making it impossible to stop or kill the scan asynchronously.
Fix
Add a
pid_callbackattribute on theNmapclass (and consequently on inherited/asynchronous classes likeNmapAsync). When defined, this callback is invoked with the PID of the spawned process as its argument immediately after the subprocess starts.Disclosure
