getS3Access: Query and set the access to a bucket or an object

In duncantl/RAmazonS3: R interface to Amazon' S3 storage

Description

These functions provide facilities to query or set who can access an S3 object or bucket. One can find out who is entitled to read/write the object or specify either general access properties (e.g. only the owner, everyone can read, everyone can read and write or authenticated reading). Alternatively, one can specify more specific access by detailing the users or groups that can access the object in what manner.

Usage

getS3Access(bucket, name, auth = getOption("AmazonS3"), curl = getCurlHandle(),
            virtual = (tolower(bucket) == bucket), asXML = FALSE)

Arguments

bucket	the name of the AWS bucket. One can also specify the bucket and object/file name as "bucket/name".
name	the name of the object within the bucket to remove
auth	a named character vector giving the AWS key and secret as a c(key = secret).
curl	a curl handle that the caller can specif to reuse an existing object that is resused across different libcurl calls.
virtual	a logical value indicating whether to use the virtual host mechanism or s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/obj format. The default argument is most likely the appropriate value.
asXML	a logical value that allows the caller to indicate that they want the parsed XML document containing the response and not to bother converting it to a data frame. This allows the caller to extract the information in the way she wants it.

Value
