Description

This is an internal function which retrieves the user database file 'user_db.csv', which holds user information for users with SVN credentials. this assumes 'rsync' is available on your path, which is true by default for linux and OSX machines, but probably not for windows.

Usage

user_db()

Details

The information is cached so calling this function repeatably will result in the same information being returned. Use memoise::forget(user_db) to reset the cache if needed.

Value

the result is a data.frame of the data

Examples

user_db()
# second call will be nearly instantaneous
user_db()
# clear the cache
memoise::forget(user_db)
