In osrm.backend: Bindings for 'Open Source Routing Machine'

Locate an OSRM Lua profile (e.g. car.lua) in a host installation

Description

By default OSRM ships profiles for "car", "bike" and "foot" in a ⁠profiles/⁠ directory alongside the binaries. This function will try to locate osrm-routed on the PATH, resolve symlinks, and look first for a ⁠profiles/⁠ directory next to the binary (as placed there by osrm_install()). If that fails, it looks for sibling directories share/osrm/profiles and share/osrm-backend/profiles. IF that fails, it will try to fall back on ⁠/usr/local/share/osrm/profiles⁠, ⁠/usr/local/share/osrm-backend/profiles⁠, ⁠/usr/share/osrm/profiles⁠, and ⁠/usr/share/osrm-backend/profiles⁠.

Usage

osrm_find_profile(profile = "car.lua")

Arguments

profile

A single string, the name of the Lua profile file (e.g. "car.lua"). Defaults to "car.lua".

Value

The normalized filesystem path to the profile.

Examples

if (identical(Sys.getenv("OSRM_EXAMPLES"), "true")) {
  install_dir <- osrm_install(
    version = "latest",
    path_action = "session",
    quiet = TRUE
  )
  osrm_find_profile("car.lua")
  osrm_uninstall(
    dest_dir = install_dir,
    clear_path = TRUE,
    force = TRUE,
    quiet = TRUE
  )
}
