Read and Write Standard 'C' Types from Files, Connections and Raw Vectors

v0.1.3 · Jul 28, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Interacting with binary files can be difficult because R's types are a subset of what is generally supported by 'C'. This package provides a suite of functions for reading and writing binary data (with files, connections, and raw vectors) using 'C' type descriptions. These functions convert data between 'C' types and R types while checking for values outside the type limits, 'NA' values, etc.
