R Documentation

Low-level function to write a BASE file structure to a connection or a file

Description

Low-level function to write a BASE file structure to a connection or a file. Note that it is required that the structure is correct; Only minimal validation of structure is done, e.g. the existance of a mandatory header named 'section' is asserted.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
writeBaseFile(con, base, verbose=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`con`	A `connection` or a `character` string filename.
`base`	The BASE file `list` structure to be written.
`verbose`	Either a `logical`, a `numeric`, or a `Verbose` object specifying how much verbose/debug information is written to standard output. If a Verbose object, how detailed the information is is specified by the threshold level of the object. If a numeric, the value is used to set the threshold of a new Verbose object. If `TRUE`, the threshold is set to -1 (minimal). If `FALSE`, no output is written (and neither is the R.utils package required).
`...`	Not used.

Value

Returns TRUE, if structure was succesfully written, otherwise FALSE.
