Description

Locate the Parquet files backing a taxadb table

Usage

  version = latest_version(),
  local = NULL
)

Arguments

provider	from which provider should the hierarchy be returned? Default is 'itis', which can also be configured using ⁠options(default_taxadb_provider=...")⁠. See ⁠[td_create]⁠ for a list of recognized providers.
schema	One of "dwc" (for Darwin Core data) or "common" (for the Common names table.)
version	Which version of the taxadb provider database should we use? defaults to latest. See available_versions() for details.
