In USGS-R/mda.streams: Data Preparation, Access, and Analysis Functions for the Powell Center Continental Stream Metabolism Project

Create/modify the meta_indy file

Description

Create/modify the meta_indy file

Usage

stage_meta_indy(rows = u(data.frame(site_name = "indy_xxxx", long_name =
  as.character(NA), lat = u(as.numeric(NA), "degN"), lon = u(as.numeric(NA),
  "degE"), alt = u(as.numeric(NA), "ft"), info = as.character(NA))),
  on_exists = c("stop", "replace"), folder = tempdir(), verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

rows	a data frame with one or more rows, having the same columns as the existing meta_indy (if there is one). These rows will be inserted according to their site_name values. Columns with names that overlap with other metadata tables, as prefixed by the table name (e.g., 'basic.lat'), will be copied to those tables when the corresponding stage_meta_... function is called (except that this copying is currently only implemented for the 'basic' metadata table).
on_exists	character indicating how to handle new rows whose site_name is already present in the current meta_ file If 'stop', an error will be thrown if even one value is duplicated. If 'replace', a message will be given and existing rows with site_name in rows$site_name will be replaced by the new rows.
folder	where to store the staged file
verbose	logical. give status messages?
