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.nuke() method

Runs NUKE.exe on a server.

Signature:

nuke(host: string): boolean;

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

host

string

Hostname/IP of the target server.

Returns:

boolean

True if the player runs the program successfully, and false otherwise.

Remarks

RAM cost: 0.05 GB

Running NUKE.exe on a target server gives you root access which means you can execute scripts on said server. NUKE.exe must exist on your home computer.

Each server has a different number of required open ports. If that number is greater than 0, you have to open its ports before nuking it. You can check the requirement with getServerNumPortsRequired or getServer().numOpenPortsRequired.

Note that the server's required hacking level is not a requirement of nuking. You can nuke a server as long as you open enough ports, regardless of your hacking level.

Example

ns.nuke("foodnstuff");
