In bmcgaughey1/fusionwrapr: R Interface to FUSION-LTK Command Line Programs

# ---------- MergeData
#
#' FUSION R command line interface -- Merges several point cloud files into a single file.
#'
#' \code{MergeData} creates command lines for the FUSION MergeData program and optionally executes them.
#'
#' @template MultipleCommands
#'
#' @param datafile character (\strong{required}): LIDAR data file template or name of a text file containing
#'   a list of file names (must have .txt extension).
#' @param outputfile character (\strong{required}): Name for the output data file with extension.
#' @template StandardOptions
#' @template SkipFileCheck
#' @param lda boolean: Write sample files using FUSION's LDA format when using LAS input
#'   files. The default behavior of ClipData (after version 2.35) is
#'   to write data in LAS format when the input data are in LAS
#'   format. When using input data in a format other than LAS, sample
#'   files are written in LDA format.
#' @param class character: "c,c,c,...": LAS files only: Specifies that only points with classification
#'   values listed are to be included in the merged points. Classification values should be separated
#'   by a comma. For example, \code{"2,3,4,5"}. Class values can range from 0 to 31. If the first
#'   character in string is ~, the list is interpreted as the classes you DO NOT want included in the subsample.
#'   For example, \code{"~2,3"} would include all class values EXCEPT 2 and 3.
#' @param ignoreoverlap boolean: Ignore points with the overlap flag set (LAS V1.4+ format).
#' @param index boolean: Create FUSION index files for the \code{outputfile}.
#' @param precision character: "#,#,#": Control the scale factor used for X, Y, and Z
#'   values in output LAS files. These values will override the values
#'   in the source LAS files. There is rarely any need for the scale
#'   parameters to be smaller than 0.001.
#' @template Use64bit
#' @template RunSaveOptions
#' @template Comment
#' @return Return value depends on \code{runCmd}. if \code{runCmd = TRUE}, return value is
#'   the (invisible) integer value return from the operating system after running the command.
#'   if \code{runCmd = FALSE}, return value is the (invisible) command line.
#' @examples
#' \dontrun{
#' MergeData("*.las", "merged.las", class = "~7")
#' }
