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

Parameter

Type

Description

url

string

URL to pull data from.

target

string

Filename to write data to. Must be script or text file.

host

string

(Optional) Optional hostname/ip of server for target file.

Returns:

Promise<boolean>

Remarks

RAM cost: 0 GB

Retrieves data from a URL and downloads it to a file on the specified server. The data can only be downloaded to a script (.js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx) or a text file (.txt, .json). If the file already exists, it will be overwritten by this command. Note that it will not be possible to download data from many websites because they do not allow cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).

Example

await ns.wget("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/master/README.md", "game_readme.txt");
