Read an oceanographic data file, auto-discovering the file type from the
first line of the file.
This function tries to infer the file type from the first line, using
oceMagic(). If it can be discovered, then an
instrument-specific file reading function is called, with the file
and with any additional arguments being supplied.
read.oce(file, ..., encoding = "latin1")An oce object of that is
specialized to the data type, e.g. ctd,
if the data file contains ctd data.
a connection or a character string giving the name of the file to load.
arguments to be handed to whichever instrument-specific reading function is selected, based on the header.
a character string giving the file encoding. This defaults
to "latin1", which seems to work for files available to the authors, but
be aware that a different setting may be required for files that contain
unusual accents or characters. (Try "UTF-8" if the default produces
errors.) Note that encoding is ignored in binary files, and also
in some text-based files, as well.

The file type is determined by oceMagic(). If the file
type can be determined, then one of the following is called:
read.ctd(), read.coastline()
read.lobo(), read.rsk(),
read.sealevel(), etc.
library(oce)
x <- read.oce(system.file("extdata", "ctd.cnv.gz", package = "oce"))
plot(x) # summary with TS and profiles
plotTS(x) # just the TS
