-- Arguments when this file (function) is called, accessible via ...
--   [1] The NSE C library. This is saved in the local variable cnse for
--       access throughout the file.
--   [2] The list of categories/files/directories passed via --script.
-- The actual arguments passed to the anonymous main function:
--   [1] The list of hosts we run against.
--
-- When making changes to this code, please ensure you do not add any
-- code relying global indexing. Instead, create a local below for the
-- global you need access to. This protects the engine from possible
-- replacements made to the global environment, speeds up access, and
-- documents dependencies.
--
-- A few notes about the safety of the engine, that is, the ability for
-- a script developer to crash or otherwise stall NSE. The purpose of noting
-- these attack vectors is more to show the difficulty in accidentally
-- breaking the system than to indicate a user may wish to break the
-- system through these means.
--  - A script writer can use the undocumented Lua function newproxy
--    to inject __gc code that could run (and error) at any location.
--  - A script writer can use the debug library to break out of
--    the "sandbox" we give it. This is made a little more difficult by
--    our use of locals to all Lua functions we use and the exclusion
--    of the main thread and subsequent user threads.
--  - A simple while true do end loop can stall the system. This can be
--    avoided by debug hooks to yield the thread at periodic intervals
--    (and perhaps kill the thread) but a C function like string.find and
--    a malicious pattern can stall the system from C just as easily.
--  - The garbage collector function is available to users and they may
--    cause the system to stall through improper use.
--  - Of course the os and io library can cause the system to also break.

  --  parent  A table that contains the parent thread table (it self).

  --          A table that contains the thread destructor handlers.
  --  info    A string that contains the script name and the thread
  --            debug information.
  --  args    A table that contains the arguments passed to scripts,
  --            arguments can be host and port tables.
  --  env     A table that contains the global script environment:

  --  identifier
  --          A string to identify the thread address.

  --  port    A table that contains the target port information. This
