archiveFile: Archives a file

In HenrikBengtsson/R.archive: Automatic Copying of Objects and Files to a File-based Archive

Description

Archives a file by copying it to the archive directory such that the archived filename has a unique prefix.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
archiveFile(filename, path=NULL, ..., onError=c("warning", "ignore", "error"))

Arguments

filename, path	character strings specifying the filename and path of an existing file to be archived.
...	Additional arguments passed to getArchivePathname().
onError	A character string specifying what to do if there is an error while archiving. Default is to give a warning.

Value

Returns the archive pathname as a character string.

Where are my archived files located?

The archived files are stored in the directory specified by getArchivePath(...), which in turn is given by getArchiveRootPath() and today's date, e.g. getArchivePath(dirs="path/to") outputs "~/.Rarchive/path/to/2012-11-22".
