Arguments

service
The name of the service on the server, e.g., "someService"
host
The server name
user
User name on the server

if TRUE (the default), failing to connect generates an R error. Otherwise, the function completes but the result is kind of useless.

...
For print, these are arguments passed on to print.matrix. For close, they're ignored.

Value

  • A fameConnection is an integer with attributes "service", "host", "user" and "password".

Details

fameConnection uses the C HLI function cfmopen to create a connection to a Fame service. The connection it returns can be used in subsequent calls to fameWildlist or getfame.

The print and close functions, when called on a fameConnection, do what they say.
