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