read_crn_metadata: Read metadata from a Tucson-format chronology file.

read_crn_metadataR Documentation

Read metadata from a Tucson-format chronology file.

Description

This function includes improvements to the read_crn function from the dplR library. The principle changes are better parsing of metadata, and support for the Schweingruber-type Tucson format. Chronologies that are unable to be read are reported to the user. The user (or read_crn) must tell the function whether the file is a Schweingruber-type chronology.

Arguments

file

SCHWEINGRUBER

Is the file in the Schweingruber-type Tucson format?

Details
