Hi Larry,
You can not create this file on Linux and should not rely on it for
Windows as it is likely to go away in the future.
Use 'nessus -qSp localhost 1241 <login> <password>' if you want parsed
plugins (remove the 'S' to get some csv-ish output).
Alternatively, you can run nasl -VV on each plugin and parse the
output that way.
