Description

Retrieve (paths to) important items from previous analyses.

Usage

inventory_get(tag = NULL, inv_location = NULL, return_all_fields = FALSE)

Arguments

tag	identifier for an inventory record that you want to access.
inv_location	Path to the inventory you want to access. If possible, this arg defaults to the parent of the last destination given to 'freeze'.
return_all_fields	When retrieving data, return the whole inventory record instead of just the filename.

Details

inventory_* functions help organize data as it passes through multiple stages of analysis. The central data structure is a table with the filename .inventory.txt. It has five columns: tag, parent_tag, date_modified, filename, and extra.

inventory_get looks for this table at the inv_location you specify. Any record matching the tag you give will be returned.
