GSoC 2013 - Improved Port Specification project

[Prakash Gamit <prakashgamit23 () gmail com>]

Hi,

I am Prakash Gamit, I am currently doing my undergraduation in computer
science from IIT Roorkee(India).

One of the projects I want to work during GSoC is * Improved port
specification *

The projects is about taking union of -p and --top-ports.

The way it currently works is -p specifies list of ports to scan and
--top-ports specifies how many top ports from that list get scanned.
So
$ nmap -p1234,5678,1111,4321 --top-ports 2 <ip-address>
scans top two ports(1111,1234 in this case) of the list given with -p.

see this thread => http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/382

Should this feature be removed in favour of taking union or do I have to
find another way to take union of --top-ports and -p.

Taking union of -F and -p looks simple.
