struct: C-Style Structs Stored in Virtual Memory

In matter: A framework for rapid prototyping with file-based data structures

Description

This is a convenience function for creating and reading C-style structs in a single file stored in virtual memory.

Usage

struct(..., filename = NULL, filemode = "rw", offset = 0)

Arguments

...	Named integers giving the members of the struct. They should be of the form name=c(type=length).
filename	A single string giving the name of the file.
filemode	The mode to use to open the file.
offset	A scalar integer giving the offset from the beginning of the file.

Details

This is simply a convenient wrapper around the wrapper around matter_list that allows easy specification of C-style structs in a file.

Value

A object of class matter_list.
