Utility API

-- This is written by me. If you see this, feel free to suggest new ideas for more functions to fit in with this API on the forums!

--Just waits for events and prints the event name, and its parameters out all nicely
function eventSniff()
  while true do
    local ev = {os.pullEvent()}
    for k,v in pairs(ev) do
      if k == 1 then
        print("Event Name : "..v)
      else
        print("param "..(k-1).." : "..v)
      end
    end
  end
end

--Checks every side for a peripheral and if there is one, it prints the type of peripheral as well as the methods for it
function checkAllPeripheral()
  for k,v in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
    if peripheral.isPresent(v) then
      print("Side: "..v)
      print("Type: "..peripheral.getType(v))
      print("Methods: ")
      for k2,v2 in pairs(peripheral.getMethods(v)) do
        print(v2)
      end
    end
  end
end

--Checks every side for a specified peripheral (name variable) and if it is present, it'll return the side it is present on. Varname is optional and all you'd do is put a string there for example "p" and if it finds the peripheral you're looking for, it'll automatically wrap it to that string (p = peripheral.wrap("left"))
function peripheralGet(name,varname)
  for k,v in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
    if peripheral.getType(v) == name then
      if varname ~= nil then
        local tb1 = {}
        tb1[varname] = peripheral.wrap(v)
        return true
      else
        return v
      end
    end
  end
  return false
end
