qs_read: qs_read

In qs2: Efficient Serialization of R Objects

qs_read

Description

Reads an object that was saved to disk in the qs2 format.

Usage

qs_read(file,
         validate_checksum = qopt("validate_checksum"),
         nthreads = qopt("nthreads"))

Arguments

file	The file name/path.
validate_checksum	If TRUE, validate checksum before deserialization and error on mismatch (or missing checksum). If FALSE, checksum is computed during read and mismatches (or missing checksum) produce a warning after reading (the initial value is FALSE).
nthreads	The number of threads to use when reading data (the initial value is 1L). When TBB is not available, values greater than 1 emit a warning and fall back to 1.

Value

The object stored in file.

Examples

x <- data.frame(int = sample(1e3, replace=TRUE),
         num = rnorm(1e3),
         char = sample(state.name, 1e3, replace=TRUE),
         stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
myfile <- tempfile()
qs_save(x, myfile)
x2 <- qs_read(myfile)
identical(x, x2) # returns TRUE
