gggenomes (version 1.0.1)

def_formats: Defined file formats and extensions

Description

For seamless reading of different file formats, gggenomes uses a mapping of known formats to associated file extensions and contexts in which the different formats can be read. The notion of context allows one to read different information from the same format/extension. For example, a gbk file holds both feature and sequence information. If read in "feats" context read_feats("*.gbk") it will return a feature table, if read in "seqs" context read_seqs("*.gbk"), a sequence index.

Usage

def_formats(
  file = NULL,
  ext = NULL,
  context = NULL,
  parser = NULL,
  allow_na = FALSE
)

Value

dictionarish vector of file formats with recognized extensions as names

Arguments

file

a vector of file names

ext

a vector of file extensions

context

a vector of file contexts defined in gggenomes_global$def_formats

parser

a vector of file parsers defined in gggenomes_global$def_formats

allow_na

boolean

def_formats("foo.fa")

# formats associated with each extension
def_formats(ext = c("fa", "gff"))

# all formats/extensions that can be read in seqs context; includes formats
# that are defined for context=NA, i.e. that can be read in any context.
