       omp - OMP command line client for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS)

SYNOPSIS

       omp OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       Together,  OpenVAS  Scanner  (openvassd(8)) and OpenVAS Manager (openvasmd(8)) provide the
       core functionality of the Open Vulnerability Assessment  System  (OpenVAS),  with  OpenVAS
       Scanner  handling  the  actual  scan process and OpenVAS Manager adding various management
       functionalities to handle and organise scan results.

       The omp binary is a command line client which uses the OMP  protocol  to  connect  to  the
       OpenVAS Manager and makes it easy to access the full functionality provided by the OpenVAS
       Manager conveniently from the command line and allows  quick  integration  in  a  scripted
       environment.
