Feature Request: NS function to obtain relations between location/company/organization

[cigarmemr]

Consider the basic model of hacking/stock trading/company working below:

For now getServer().organizationName and getOrganization() reveals No. 3 and 4, respectively. However there seems to be no way to obtain relations of organization - company and company - location.

This renders certain judgement based on these info hard to code in scripts such as:

• I'd like to trade with certain stock, and work for its corresponding company to increase its forecast.
• I'd like to work for certain mega company to get invited by its faction. To make it easier I would like to backdoor their corresponding server.

My idea is to add two singularity function getCompany() and getLocation() returning some detailed info about a company/location, including their corresponding company/organization. How do you think?

As usual, I think pure information functions like this shouldn't require sing access (just my own opinion). Especially in this case, when the information is constant.

As far as I can tell Location, Company, and Organization are all always the same exact name. Am I missing something, because that seems to solve this issue on its own?

/* work for company that owns a stock */
ns.singularity.workForCompany(ns.stock.getOrganization(stock));

/* work for company owned by a faction */
ns.singularity.workForCompany(faction);

/* backdoor the server owned by a company */
const server = scanAll(ns).find(hostname => ns.getServer(hostname).organizationName === company);
// scanAll() returns an array of all server hostnames
connectTo(ns, server);
// connectTo() calls 'ns.singularity.connect()' repeatedly to navigate to a server
await ns.singularity.installBackdoor();
