ransfer Binary Data To and From Connections

Description

Read binary data from or write binary data to a connection
or raw vector.

Usage

readBin(con, what,
    n = 1,
    size = -2147483648,
    signed = TRUE,
    endian = big,
    ... = NULL);

Arguments

con

A connection Object Or a character String naming a file Or a raw vector.

numeric. The (maximal) number of records to be read. You can use an over-estimate here, but not too large as storage is reserved for n items. [as integer]

size

Integer.The number Of bytes per element In the Byte stream. The Default, NAinteger, uses the natural size. Size changing Is Not supported For raw And complex vectors. [as integer]

signed

logical. Only used for integers of sizes 1 and 2, when it determines if the quantity on file should be regarded as a signed or unsigned integer. [as boolean]

endian

The endian-ness ("big" Or "little") Of the target system For the file. Using "swap" will force swapping endian-ness. [as endianness]

what

Either an object whose mode will give the mode of the vector to be read, or a character vector of length one describing the mode: one of "numeric", "double", "integer", "int", "logical", "complex", "character", "raw".
