Ok, thanks for clear it, but i wasn't looking the man page, i was
looking the nessus --help command and this is not too much explicit.
Thanks anyway.

Best Regards,

In man page format, the line is incorrect. If you take the example of 
the tar man page, it should be (if they are mutually exclusive)

nessus -q [-] {pPS}

the [-pPS] says that you can use any, all, none, or some combination of 
them.
