There are no command line options to control that. For this particular
case you can get pretty close with "nmap -sU -O -d". That will omit the
open-port TCP tests, but there will still be closed-port TCP results
because Nmap tries a port at random if it can't find a closed one. It
should work against a mostly filtered host though.
