[Home](./index.md) > [bitburner](./bitburner.md) > [NS](./bitburner.ns.md) ## NS interface Collection of all functions passed to scripts **Signature:** ```typescript export interface NS ``` ## Remarks Basic ns1 usage example: ```ts // Basic ns functions can be used directly getHostname(); // Some related functions are gathered within a common namespace stock.getPrice(); ``` [ns1 in-game docs](https://bitburner-official.readthedocs.io/en/latest/netscript/netscript1.html)
Basic ns2 usage example: ```ts export async function main(ns) { // Basic ns functions can be accessed on the ns object ns.getHostname(); // Some related functions are gathered under a sub-property of the ns object ns.stock.getPrice(); // Some functions need to be awaited await ns.hack('n00dles'); } ``` [ns2 in-game docs](https://bitburner-official.readthedocs.io/en/latest/netscript/netscriptjs.html)
