loadbin: Read binary data into array

In docore: Utility Functions for Scientific Coding

Description

Reads binary data using the base function readBin and recasts it into an array of custom dimensions.

Usage

loadbin(
  filename,
  dim,
  bytes = 4,
  type = "numeric",
  signed = FALSE,
  endian = "little"
)

Arguments

filename	path of the file to be loaded
dim	vector specifying the dimensions of the array
bytes	number of bytes per number in the binary file
type	character vector of length describing the data type: "numeric" (default), "double", "integer", "int", "logical", "complex", "character", "raw"
signed	logical. Only used for integers of sizes 1 and 2, when it determines if the quantity on file should be regarded as a signed or unsigned integer.
endian	endian-type ("big" or "little") of the file

Value
