netlib function used to send a string to another system

this will first send a regular rednet message with the string "sendstring" so the receiving side knows to expect a string, this is required for a "listen" program that listens for incomming calls.

after this the string you include is properly transmitted to the other party.


unlike rednet.send, this is a multi step process that verifies if the string has been received intact by the other side, it's the "TCP" to rednet's "UDP"


usage:

local temp = netlib.sendstring(client, string)


output:

transmits "string" to a netlib capable system,

returns true if successfull, false if failed.
