interface.lua

This module is a generic function interface for general, generic interface formats and protocols. The only current module that uses this is modem.lua. This module does not do anything beyond provide the methods, any other desired functionality (i.e. user authentification, privilages, etc) should be handled by another module.

Interface Information

To call an interface method, use interface.interface.callMethod.

The genericInterface.list method returns a table nicer for general use, it is an array of tables with the following contents.

• name Item ID of the name
• nbt NBT hash of the item (or "NONE")
• count Total count of this item in the system It will also contain any other information getItemDetail would for that item. For example enchantments or displayName. This list will only contain one entry for each item.

If your interface wishes to provide updates for "inventoryUpdate" events use interface.addInventoryUpdateHandler. This will pass the result of genericInterface.list into your function anytime the inventory contents change.

Internal Information

Adding an interface method is very simple, just add the function to genericInterface.
