This API requires the use of a wrapped peripheral!
This API does not behave like a regular API, to use it you must first wrap the peripheral and call the methods on the wrapped object. For more information see this page.


The Computer API is a peripheral API that allows computers and turtles to interact with other computers and turtles.
computer stands for the variable you wrapped the computer to.
