## NS interface
Collection of all functions passed to scripts
Signature:
```typescript
export interface NS extends Singularity
```
Extends: [Singularity](./bitburner.singularity.md)
## 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();
```

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 await ed
await ns.hack('n00dles');
}
