VariableInfo(
  variable,
  info = c("ID", "Name", "Unit", "Description", "Aggregation", "Reference", "Component")

VariableSearch(
  search,
  info = c("ID", "Name", "Unit", "Description", "Aggregation", "Reference", "Component"),
  ignore_case = TRUE

Value

info: A vector of strings describing HYPE variable attribute information to return/search: "ID", "Name", "Unit", "Description", "Aggregation", and/or "Component".
search: String, search HYPE variable info for string matches in info attributes.

Details

The VariableInfo and VariableSearch functions provide features to lookup information on HYPE variables from the HYPE Wiki. VariableInfo can be used to return information (e.g. Name, Units) for a known HYPE Variable ID. VariableSearch can be used to search for e.g. an unknown HYPE variable ID based on a search term. The info argument can be used to select which information to return or search.
