In batchtools: Tools for Computation on Batch Systems

#' @title Map Over Results to Create New Jobs
#'
#' @description
#' This function allows you to create new computational jobs (just like \code{\link{batchMap}} based on the results of
#' a \code{\link{Registry}}.
#'
#' @note
#' The URI to the result files in registry \code{source} is hard coded as parameter in the \code{target} registry.
#' This means that \code{target} is currently not portable between systems for computation.
#'
#' @templateVar ids.default findDone
#' @param fun [\code{function}]\cr
#'   Function which takes the result as first (unnamed) argument.
#' @template ids
#' @param ... [ANY]\cr
#'   Arguments to vectorize over (list or vector). Passed to \code{\link{batchMap}}.
#' @template more.args
#' @param target [\code{\link{Registry}}]\cr
#'   Empty Registry where new jobs are created for.
#' @param source [\code{\link{Registry}}]\cr
#'   Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see \code{\link{setDefaultRegistry}}).
#' @return [\code{\link{data.table}}] with ids of jobs added to \code{target}.
