read.glider: Read a glider data file

In dankelley/oceanglider: Analysis of Oceanographic Glider Data

Read a glider data file

Description

This is a high-level function that passes control to read.glider.netcdf() if the first argument is a string ending with ".nc" or to read.glider.seaexplorer.raw() if it is a vector of strings, any contains the text "pld1.raw." followed by one or more digits.

This is a high-level function that passes control to read.glider.netcdf() if the first argument is a string ending with ".nc" or to read.glider.seaexplorer.raw().

Usage

read.glider(file, debug = getOption("gliderDebug", default = 0), ...)

read.glider(file, debug = getOption("gliderDebug", default = 0), ...)

Arguments

file	character value giving the name of the file.
debug	an integer specifying whether debugging information is to be printed during processing. If this is not provided, then the value of getOption("gliderDebug",0) is used. The printing is done by a call to gliderDebug. Setting debug=0 turns off this form of debugging, while higher values may yield more information, depending on the function. If one glider function calls another, it passes the value of debug but decreased by 1, which means that the value of debug controls not just the breadth of debugging, but also the depth.
...	extra parameters passed to more specific ⁠read.*⁠ functions.

Value

A glider object, i.e. one inheriting from glider.

A glider object, i.e. one inheriting from glider.
