7.42 Command `get_nvts`

In short: Get all NVTs.

The client uses the get_nvts command to get NVT information.

This command may always include a details flag, a config, a sort order and a sort field. If the command includes a details flag, the manager also consults the timeout, preference_count and preferences flags. The timeout and preferences flags require a config.

The NVT OID, family name and config attributes limit the listing to a single NVT or all NVTs in a particular family and/or config.

If the details flag is present the manager will send full details of the NVT, otherwise it will send just the NVT name and checksum.

With the preferences flag the manager includes in the listing, the values of each listed NVT's preferences for the given config. The timeout flag does the same for the special timeout preference.

If the manager possesses an NVT collection, it will reply with the NVT information. If the manager cannot access a list of available NVTs at that time, it will reply with the 503 response.

7.43 Command `get_nvt_families`

In short: Get a list of all NVT families.

The client uses the get_nvt_families command to get NVT family information. If the command sent by the client was valid, the manager will reply with a list of NVT families to the client.

7.44 Command `get_nvt_feed_checksum`

In short: Get checksum for entire NVT collection.

The client uses the get_nvt_feed_checksum command to request a checksum for the complete NVT collection available through this manager. The client may specify an algorithm to be used for computing this checksum.

If the specified algorithm is not implemented in the manager, then the manager will reply with a response code in the 4xx range.

If the client does not specify a checksum algorithm, the manager is expected to use the MD5 algorithm for computing the checksum.

If the manager possesses such a collection, it will reply with a response code indicating success, and the checksum over all NVT files. If the manager cannot access a list of available NVTs at present, it will reply with the 503 response.

7.47 Command `get_preferences`

In short: Get all preferences.

The client uses the get_preferences command to get preference information. If the command sent by the client was valid, the manager will reply with a list of preferences to the client. If the manager cannot access a list of available NVTs at present, it will reply with the 503 response.

When the command includes a config_id attribute, the preference element includes the preference name, type and value, and the NVT to which the preference applies. Otherwise, the preference element includes just the name and value, with the NVT and type built into the name.

7.62 Command `modify_config`

In short: Modify an existing config.

This command can take five forms: with a preference, with a family selection, with an NVT selection, or with a name or comment.

The first form modifies a preference on the config. If the preference includes an NVT, then the preference is an NVT preference, otherwise the preference is a scanner preference. If the preference includes a value then the manager updates the value of the preference, otherwise the manager removes the preference. The value must be base64 encoded.

The second form, with a family selection, lets the client modify the NVTs selected by the config at a family level. The idea is that the client modifies the entire family selection at once, so a client will often need to include many families in a family selection.

The family_selection may include a growing element to indicate whether new families should be added to the selection. It may also include any number of family elements.

A family element must always include a name and may include a growing element and an all element. The all element indicates whether all NVTs in the family should be selected. The growing element indicates whether new NVTs in the family should be added to the selection as they arrive. Leaving a family out of the family_selection is equivalent to including the family with all 0 and growing 0.

The effect of the all 0 and growing 0 case is subtle: if all NVTs were selected then all are removed (effectively removing the family from the config). However if some NVTs were selected then they remain selected. As a result the client must include in the family_selection all families that must have all NVTs selected.

The third option, an NVT selection, must include a family and may include any number of NVTs. The manager updates the given family in the config to include only the given NVTs.

If there was no error with the command sent by the client, the manager will apply the changes to the config and will reply with a response code indicating success.
