Set paths to cache large IO downloads

Description

Set paths to cache large IO downloads

Usage

io_set_cache_dir(cache_dir = NULL, io_database = NULL)

Arguments

cache_dir	If set to a character this will replace the current cache path stored in the iotr configs.
io_database	For which database should the cache directory be set. Current options are 'wiod' or 'icio'.

Details

Several ⁠io_dl_*⁠ and ⁠io_load_*⁠ functions ask for a cache directory to cache several large IO data files in order to avoid repeated downloads. This function is a helper to (re)set the folder paths where to keep these files. The given path is stored in a config file (at the user configs location obtained from package rappdirs). Manually call this function with a new path to reset it.

Value

Returns path to the respective cache directory.
