Single request mode is designed to preform a solitary request against the target. This is useful to confirm a test result using the same resources Nikto used during a scan. The single option allows manual setting of most variables used by Nikto and LibWhisker, and upon completion will display both the request and the result of the operation.

Most options have a default value or can be left blank. The most common and required values are at the beginning of the "questions" section for slightly easier use. True and false are specified by numeric equivalents, 1 and 0 respectively. Please note that Single mode is not very user-friendly. Here is an example Nikto run with the -Single option.
