Details

If the mirai package is available, this function will ensure that at least version 1.1.0 of the purrr package is installed to scan the network in parallel, according to mirai::daemons() set by the user. This reduces the time it takes, but does not use a progress bar.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
mirai::daemons(12)
find_local_pam()
mirai::daemons(0)
}
