#' @title Generate RVC file from Custom Output CSVs
#'
#' @description
#' Creates an initial conditions rvc file that specifies the initial state
#' using the information from the supplied custom output file.
#'
#' @param filename filepath of rvc file to be created (with .rvc extension)
#' @param custfiles array of filepaths to Raven Custom Output files (must be ByHRU)
#' @param FUN the aggregation function to be applied to state variables (e.g. mean, passed to sapply)
#' @param init_date datetime of model start (optional, can be calculated from Custom Output files)
#' @param ... optional arguments passed to \code{\link{rvn_rvc_write}} (e.g. author, description)
#'
#' @return \item{TRUE}{if executed successfully}
