format_stream: Set the format for a stream_file object

In mrgsim.parallel: Simulate with 'mrgsolve' in Parallel

Set the format for a stream_file object

Description

The format is set on the file objects inside the list so that the file object can be used to call a write method. See write_stream().

Usage

format_stream(
  x,
  type = c("fst", "feather", "qs", "rds"),
  set_ext = TRUE,
  warn = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	A file_stream object.
type	The file format type; if feather is chosen, then a check will be made to ensure the arrow package is loaded.
set_ext	If TRUE, the existing extension (if it exists) is stripped and a new extension is added based on the value of type.
warn	If TRUE a warning will be issued in case the output format is set but there is no directory path associated with the file spot in x[[1]].

Value

x is returned with a new class attribute reflecting the expected output format (fst, feather (arrow), qs or rds).
