write_uint8: Convert values to the given type and write to a connection

In ctypesio: Read and Write Standard 'C' Types from Files, Connections and Raw Vectors

Convert values to the given type and write to a connection

Description

Convert values to the given type and write to a connection

Usage

write_uint8(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_int8(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_uint16(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_int16(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_uint32(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_int32(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_uint64(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

write_int64(con, x, endian = NULL, bounds_check = NULL, na_check = NULL)

Arguments

con	Connection object or raw vector. When con is a raw vector, new data will be appended to the vector and returned. Connection objects can be created with file(), url(), rawConnection() or any of the other many connection creation functions.
x	vector to write
endian	Ordering of bytes within the file when reading multi-byte values. Possible values: 'big' or 'little'. Default: NULL indicates that endian option should be retrieved from the connection object if possible (where the user has used set_endian()) or otherwise will be set to "little"
bounds_check	Check values lie within bounds of the given type. Default: NULL indicates that this option should be retrieved from the connection object if possible (where the user has used set_bounds_check()) or otherwise will be set to "error"
na_check	Check for NAs in the data to be written. Default: NULL indicates that this option should be retrieved from the connection object if possible (where the user has used set_na_check()) or otherwise will be set to "error"

Value

If con is a connection then this connection is returned invisibly. If con is a raw vector then new data is appended to this vector

Examples

con <- file(tempfile(), "wb")
write_uint8(con, 1:4)
close(con)
