ingest_header: Ingest header data

In jpshanno/ingestr: An R package for Reading Environmental Data from Raw Formats into Dataframes

Description

ingest_header reads in header information from datasets that were created using ingest_*. The dataset must have been ingested within the same R session. All ingest functions use the source file's base name as an identifying column to track provenance and relate data and metadata read from files.

Usage

ingest_header(input.source)

Arguments

input.source

Character indicating the source file, must match the input.source used to originally ingest the data

Details

All ingest_* functions for data files that include header data write that data to a temporary file. This header data can then be loaded and manipulated by the user using ingest_header.

Value

This function returns a dataframe containing the header information for the file. Refer to the help page for ingest_* for more information.
