vsi_curl_clear_cache: Clean cache associated with /vsicurl/ and related file systems

Description

vsi_curl_clear_cache() cleans the local cache associated with /vsicurl/ (and related file systems). This function is a wrapper for VSICurlClearCache() and VSICurlPartialClearCache() in the GDAL Common Portability Library. See Details for the GDAL documentation.

Usage

vsi_curl_clear_cache(partial = FALSE, file_prefix = "", quiet = TRUE)

Value

No return value, called for side effects.

Arguments

partial

Logical scalar. Whether to clear the cache only for a given filename (see Details).

file_prefix

Character string. Filename prefix to use if partial = TRUE.

quiet

Logical scalar. TRUE (the default) to wrap the API call in a quiet error handler, or FALSE to print any potential error messages to the console.

Details

/vsicurl/ (and related file systems like /vsis3/, /vsigs/, /vsiaz/, /vsioss/, /vsiswift/) cache a number of metadata and data for faster execution in read-only scenarios. But when the content on the server-side may change during the same process, those mechanisms can prevent opening new files, or give an outdated version of them. If partial = TRUE, cleans the local cache associated for a given filename (and its subfiles and subdirectories if it is a directory).
