Description of databases known by an ACNUC server

Description

Returns, for each database known by the server, its name (a valid value for the bank argument of choosebank), availability (off means temporarily unavailable), and description.

Usage

knowndbs(tag = c(NA, "TP", "TEST", "DEV"), socket = autosocket())
kdb(tag = c(NA, "TP", "TEST", "DEV"), socket = autosocket())

Arguments

tag	default to NA, see details
socket	an object of class sockconn connecting to a remote ACNUC database (default is a socket to the last opened database).

Details

When the optional tag argument is used, only databases tagged with the given string are listed; when this argument is NA (by default), only untagged databases are listed. The tag argument thus allows to identify series of special purpose (tagged) databases, in addition to default (untagged) ones.

Value

A dataframe with 3 columns:

bank	string. Valid bank values known by the ACNUC server
status	string. "on" means available, "off" means temporarily unavailable
info	string. short description of the database
