#' @title IFC Files Generic Reader
#' @description
#' Reads IFC data from IFC files no matter if they are FCS, DAF, RIF or CIF.
#' @param fileName path to file.
#' @param ... arguments to pass to \code{\link{ExtractFromDAF}} or \code{\link{ExtractFromXIF}} or \code{\link{ExtractFromFCS}}.
#' @details If input 'fileName' is a DAF file \code{\link{ExtractFromDAF}} will be used to read the file.\cr
#' If it is a CIF or RIF file \code{\link{readIFC}} will use \code{\link{ExtractFromXIF}}.\cr
#' Finally, if 'fileName' is not a DAF, nor a CIF, nor a RIF file \code{\link{readIFC}} will use \code{\link{ExtractFromFCS}}.
#' @return an object of class `IFC_data`.
#' @examples
#' if(requireNamespace("IFCdata", quietly = TRUE)) {
#'   ## use a rif file, but you can also read daf or cif
#'   file_rif <- system.file("extdata", "example.rif", package = "IFCdata")
