lineage: File lineage functions

In End-to-end-provenance/provTraceR: Uses Provenance to Trace File Lineage for One or more R Scripts

Description

prov.trace traces file lineage from existing provenance.

prov.trace.run runs the specified script(s), collects provenance, and uses the provenance to trace file lineage.

Usage

prov.trace(
  scripts,
  prov.dir = NULL,
  file.details = FALSE,
  console = TRUE,
  save = FALSE,
  save.dir = NULL,
  check = TRUE
)

prov.trace.run(
  scripts,
  prov.dir = NULL,
  file.details = FALSE,
  console = TRUE,
  save = FALSE,
  save.dir = NULL,
  check = TRUE,
  prov.tool = "rdtLite",
  details = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

scripts	a script name, a vector of script names, or a text file of script names (file extension = .txt)
prov.dir	provenance directory
file.details	whether to display file details
console	whether to display results in the console
save	whether to save results to the file prov-trace.txt
save.dir	where to save the results file. If NULL, use the R session temporary directory. If a period (.), use the current working directory. Otherwise use save.dir.
check	whether to check against the user's file system
prov.tool	provenance collection tool (rdtLite or rdt)
details	whether to collect fine-grained provenance
...	other parameters passed to the provenance collector
