In joyent/mantaRSDK: Joyent Manta Storage Service R Software Development Kit

Description Usage Arguments See Also Examples

As a persistent object store, there are no copy or move commands on Manta. Instead the mantaSnapln command is used to add an object's name into another subdirectory without physically moving data on the service. Internally the system takes a ZFS snapshot of the data and the new object entry is the snapshot. If the original data is overwritten, the SnapLink still points to the original snapshot. The R workspace audit trail used by mantaSave.ws and mantaLoad.ws is implemented using mantaSnapln.

1	mantaSnapln(from, to, info = TRUE)

`from`	character, required. Object in current subdirectory or full Manta path to stored object. Vectorized.
`to`	character, required. Snaplink name in current subdirectory, existing Manta subdirectory or full Manta object path to the new SnapLink. If `from` is a vector of Manta paths, then `to` must specify a single valid Manta subdirectory.
`info`	logical. When FALSE suppresses messages on the console.
