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

NS.hackAnalyzeThreads() method

Calculate the decimal number of threads needed to hack a specified amount of money from a target host.

Signature:

hackAnalyzeThreads(host: string, hackAmount: number): number;

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

host

string

Hostname of the target server to analyze.

hackAmount

number

Amount of money you want to hack from the server.

Returns:

number

The number of threads needed to hack the server for hackAmount money.

Remarks

RAM cost: 1 GB

This function returns the decimal number of script threads you need when running the hack command to steal the specified amount of money from the target server. If hackAmount is less than zero, greater than the amount of money available on the server, or your hacking level is below the required level for the target server, then this function returns -1.

Example

// Calculate the thread count of a single hack that would take $100k from n00dles
const hackThreads = ns.hackAnalyzeThreads("n00dles", 1e5);

// Launching a script requires an integer thread count. The below would take less than the targeted $100k.
ns.run("noodleHack.js", Math.floor(hackThreads));
