Michael Taylor dcd2f33f7c CODEBASE: Update api-documentor and api-extractor (#2320)
* Update api-documentor and api-extractor. #1566 follow-up.

I have verified that the HTML/markdown table generation bug in
[#4878](https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack/issues/4878) in rushstack
for api-documentor has been fixed as per rushstack#5256. The testcase
[repro](https://github.com/catloversg/api-documenter-bug-pr-4578) now
produces the correct expected output.

I have confirmed that the generated output in bitburner from
`npm run doc` now generated HTML tables, and correctly inserts
a blank line between the </table> and the follow line (e.g. Returns).

Stylisticly it could use some whitespace, but it is correctly rendered.

This commit is only the updated packages, not the updated generated
documentation. I assume that is automatically generated by the GitHub
workflow.

* Follow up to 5f732a6f35, include `npm run doc` changed docs.

* Add missing license info

* Fix React warning

Singularity.createProgram() method

Create a program.

Signature:

createProgram(program: string, focus?: boolean): boolean;

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

program

string

Name of program to create.

focus

boolean

(Optional) Acquire player focus on this program creation. Optional. Defaults to true.

Returns:

boolean

True if you successfully start working on the specified program, and false otherwise.

Remarks

RAM cost: 5 GB * 16/4/1

This function will automatically set you to start working on creating the specified program. If you are already in the middle of some “working” action (such as working for a company, training at a gym, or taking a course), then running this function will automatically cancel that action and give you your earnings.

This function returns true if you successfully start working on the specified program, and false otherwise.

Note that creating a program using this function has the same hacking level requirements as it normally would. You can call getHackingLevelRequirementOfProgram to get that value.

Example

const programName = "BruteSSH.exe";
const success = ns.singularity.createProgram(programName);
if (!success) ns.tprint(`ERROR: Failed to start working on ${programName}`);
