rednet.lookup
From ComputerCraft Wiki
 Function rednet.lookup | |
| Introduced by ComputerCraft 1.6, searches the local rednet network for systems "hosting" the desired protocol and returns any computer IDs that respond as "registered" against it. If a hostname is specified, only one ID will be returned (assuming an exact match is found). Lookups are broadcasted with a specified protocol of "dns". Replies are sent back to the sender's ID number with the same protocol. | |
| Syntax | rednet.lookup(string protocol, [string hostname]) |
