Read Stock Synthesis control file into list object in R. This function is a wrapper which calls either SS_readctl_3.24 or SS_readctl_3.30 (not yet written). This setup allows those functions to be cleaner (if somewhat redundant) than a single function that attempts to do everything.
SS_readctl(file, version = NULL, verbose = TRUE, echoall = FALSE,
nseas = 4, N_areas = 1, Nages = 20, Ngenders = 1,
Npopbins = NA, Nfleet = 2, Nsurveys = 2, N_tag_groups = NA,
N_CPUE_obs = NA, use_datlist = FALSE, datlist = NULL,
ptype = TRUE)Filename either with full path or relative to working directory.
SS version number. Currently only "3.24" or "3.30" are supported, either as character or numeric values (noting that numeric 3.30 = 3.3).
Should there be verbose output while running the file? Default=TRUE.
Debugging tool (not fully implemented) of echoing blocks of data as it is being read.
number of season in the model. This information is not explicitly available in control file
number of spatial areas in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file
oldest age in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file
number of genders in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file
number of population bins in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file and this information is only required if length based maturity vector is directly supplied (Maturity option of 6), and not yet tested
number of fisheries in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file
number of survey fleets in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file
number of tag release groups in the model. This information is also not explicitly available in control file.
number of CPUE observations.
LOGICAL if TRUE, use datlist to derive parameters which can not be determined from control file
list or character. if list : produced from SS_writedat or character : file name of dat file.
include a column in the output indicating parameter type? (Can be useful, but causes problems for SS_writectl.) Only possible to use for 3.24 control files.
