Description

Reads binary data using the base function readBin and recasts it into an array of custom dimensions.

Usage

  filename,
  dim,
  bytes = 4,
  type = "numeric",
  signed = FALSE,
  endian = "little"
)

Arguments

filename

path of the file to be loaded

dim

vector specifying the dimensions of the array

bytes

number of bytes per number in the binary file

type

character vector of length describing the data type: "numeric" (default), "double", "integer", "int", "logical", "complex", "character", "raw"
