writeBin64: Transfer Binary Data To a Connection

In astro: Astronomy Functions, Tools and Routines

Description

Write binary data to a connection.

Usage

writeBin64(object, con, size = NA_integer_,
           endian = .Platform$endian, useBytes = FALSE)

Arguments

object	An R object to be written to the connection.
con	A connection object or a character string naming a file or a raw vector.
size	integer. The number of bytes per element in the byte stream. The default, 'NA_integer_', uses the natural size. Size changing is not supported for raw and complex vectors.
endian	The endian-ness ('big' or 'little') of the target system for the file. Using 'swap' will force swapping endian-ness.
useBytes	See 'writeLines'.

Details

An extension of the standard R function writeBin. This 64-bit extension splits data into 2^30 chunks, and writes each out sequentially, overcoming the 2^31-1 limit of the original function.
