Alternatively there is also a family of environment variables to control use of
the Altrep framework. These can then be set in your .Renviron
file, e.g.
with usethis::edit_r_environ()
. For versions of R where the Altrep
framework is unavailable (R < 3.5.0) they are automatically turned off and
the variables have no effect. The variables can take one of true
, false
,
TRUE
, FALSE
, 1
, or 0
.
There are also individual variables for each type. Currently only
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_CHR
defaults to true
.
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_CHR
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_FCT
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_INT
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_BIG_INT
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_DBL
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_NUM
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_LGL
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_DTTM
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_DATE
VROOM_USE_ALTREP_TIME
