Function to do all required work on an XBRL instance and its associated DTS.

Description

xbrlDoAll performs all the steps necessary to extract a list of dataframes, starting from an XBRL instance file. xbrlDoAll offers the highest level of abstraction from the required steps. A medium-level access can be achieved by using XBRL. A low-level access can be achieved by using the functions related to xbrlParse.

Usage

xbrlDoAll(file.inst, cache.dir = "xbrl.Cache", prefix.out = NULL,
          verbose = FALSE, delete.cached.inst = TRUE)

Arguments

file.inst	the name of the instance file
cache.dir	the name of a local directory to be used as a cache of discovered taxonomies. if NULL, no cache is performed
prefix.out	if given, prefix used to create csv files with the content of the data frames produced
verbose	Set to TRUE to see output of the process of discovery and analysis if documents
delete.cached.inst	Set to TRUE to delete downloaded instance, schema and linkbase files
