Gets the checksum of a file.
# S3 method for GenericDataFile
getChecksum(this, write=NA, force=FALSE, verbose=FALSE, ...)
Returns a character
string, which can be NA
if file is missing.
If TRUE
or NA
and a checksum file does not exists, then
a checksum file is created, iff possible. If NA
and the file could
not be created, then it falls back to FALSE
, but if TRUE
an error
is thrown. If FALSE
and no checksum file exists, the checksum is
calculated on the fly.
If FALSE
, the file exists and has not be modified since,
then the cached checksum is returned.
