ifcb_get_runtime: Read IFCB Header File and Extract Runtime Information

Description

This function imports an IFCB header file (either from a local path or URL), extracts specific target values such as runtime and inhibittime, and returns them in a structured format (in seconds). This is the R equivalent function of IFCBxxx_readhdr from the ifcb-analysis repository (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_get_runtime(hdr_file)

Value

A list (hdr) containing runtime, inhibittime, and runType (if available) extracted from the header file.

Arguments

hdr_file

A character string specifying the full path to the .hdr file or URL.
