Verbose means talkative, it's here to make sure you get more information (trace) from nodemon. It's useful when debugging some code.

Exemple without verbose mode:

[nodemon] 1.19.1
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `node test.js`
Hello Nodemon
[nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart

Exemple with verbose mode activated:

[nodemon] 1.19.1
[nodemon] reading config ./nodemon.json
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] or send SIGHUP to 43148 to restart
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,json
[nodemon] starting `node test.js`
[nodemon] forking
[nodemon] child pid: 43150
[nodemon] watching 7 files
Hello Nodemon
[nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart
