<p>Use your hacking skills to increase the amount of money available on a server. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking
level and the target server's security level. When grow() completes, the money available on a target server will be increased by a
certain, fixed percentage. This percentage is determined by the target server's growth rate (which varies between servers) and security level.
Generally, higher-level servers have higher growth rates. The getServerGrowth() function can be used to obtain a server's growth rate.</p>
<p>Like hack(), grow() can be called on any server, regardless of where the script is running. The grow() command requires
root access to the target server, but there is no required hacking level to run the command. It also raises the security level

<p>Returns the amount of income the specified script generates while online (when the game is open, does not apply for offline income).
Remember that a script is uniquely identified by both its name and its arguments. So for example if you ran a script with the arguments
"foodnstuff" and "5" then in order to use this function to get that script's income you must specify those same arguments in the same order
in this function call.</p>
<p>This function can also be called with no arguments. If called with no arguments, then this function will return an array of two values. The
first value is the total income ($ / second) of all of your active scripts (scripts that are currently running on any server). The second value
is the total income ($ / second) that you've earned from scripts since you last installed Augmentations.</p>

<p>Prompts the player with a dialog box with two options: "Yes" and "No". This function will return true if the player click "Yes" and
false if the player clicks "No". The script's execution is halted until the player selects one of the options.</p>
<p><strong>Note about variable scope in functions:</strong></p>
<p>Functions can access "global" variables declared outside of the function's scope. However, they cannot change the value of any "global" variables.
<p><strong>Other Notes about creating your own functions:</strong></p>
<p>Defining a function does not create a Javascript function object in the underlying game code. This means that you cannot use any function
you create in functions such as <aclass="reference external"href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort">Array.sort()</a> (not yet at least, I'll try to make it work in the future).</p>
