zip_datafiles: Zip a set of data files

In qtl2: Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping in Experimental Crosses

Zip a set of data files

Description

Zip a set of data files (in format read by read_cross2()).

Usage

zip_datafiles(control_file, zip_file = NULL, overwrite = FALSE, quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

control_file	Character string with path to the control file (YAML or JSON) containing all of the control information.
zip_file	Name of zip file to use. If NULL, we use the stem of control_file but with a .zip extension.
overwrite	If TRUE, overwrite file if it exists. If FALSE (the default) and the file exists, stop with an error.
quiet	If FALSE, print progress messages.

Details

The input control_file is the control file (in YAML or JSON format) to be read by read_cross2(). (See the sample data files and the vignette describing the input file format.)

The utils::zip() function is used to do the zipping.

The files should all be contained within the directory where the control_file sits, or in a subdirectory of that directory. If file paths use .., these get stripped by zip, and so the resulting zip file may not work with read_cross2().

Value

Character string with the file name of the zip file that was created.
