Name of item from inventory

using a turtle to scan chests for items, is there a name property for each item? Currently using safari nets.

a = peripheral.wrap("left")
itemTbl = a.getStackInSlot(1)
for k, v in pairs(itemTbl) do
   print(k..": "..tostring(v))
end

The output is:

raw_name: item.mfr.safarinet.reusable
max_dmg: 0
max_size: 1
dmg: 0
id: MineFactoryReloaded:safarinet,reusable
nbt_hash: 23536b81e69c21ea30ba6d754ffd9bba
ore_dict: table: ——–
safari_net: table: —————–
name: safarinet.reuable
mod_id: MineFactoryReloaded

Although the safari net is called "Pink Slime", i cant find a property to get the name if you look at the safari_net table it will give you the property "captured": MineFactoryReloaded.mfrEntityPinkSlime, although cutting and rebuilding this as a string for the name would be extremely over complicated and something that id want to avoid.

If it's not in there, it's not in there. Exactly what info you get varies a bit depending on the version of OpenPeripherals you're using.

Though I gather it's pretty good about returning labels for items which've been named with an anvil.

Actually, cutting up that string for the name is quite simple.

local name = itemTbl.safari_net.captured:match( "Entity(%a+)" )
print( name ) --#prints PinkSlime

I use a pattern to match every letter in the string after "Entity"

Thanks, although I figured out that there's a display_name property which shows the name of the item, which I've renamed in an anvil.
