Hi,

nsock engines are ordered by efficiency and scalability so as to use
the best one if none was explicitely requested from command line. This
also holds for the nsock_list_engines() function that returns the
names of available engines (see nmap -V). Therefore, the engine used
in a scan is either the first one of this list, or the one specified
via the command line if any.

With high debug modes, you can see function names associated to a
given engine, like "poll_loop" --> poll engine.

Regards
