writeCdf: Creates a binary CDF file

In affxparser: Affymetrix File Parsing SDK

Description

This function creates a binary CDF file given a valid CDF structure containing all necessary elements.

Warning: The API for this function is likely to be changed in future versions.

Usage

  writeCdf(fname, cdfheader, cdf, cdfqc, overwrite=FALSE, verbose=0)

Arguments

fname	name of the CDF file.
cdfheader	A list with a structure equal to the output of readCdfHeader.
cdf	A list with a structure equal to the output of readCdf.
cdfqc	A list with a structure equal to the output of readCdfQc.
overwrite	Overwrite existing file?
verbose	how verbose should the output be. 0 means no output, with higher numbers being more verbose.

Details

This function has been validated mainly by reading in various ASCII or binary CDF files which are written back as new CDF files, and compared element by element with the original files.

Value

This function is used for its byproduct: creating a CDF file.
