readDWD.data

Name of file on harddrive, like e.g. 
DWDdata/daily_kl_recent_tageswerte_KL_03987_akt.zip

file

Logical: read faster with <code>data.table::<a rd-options="data.table" href="/link/fread?package=rdwd&version=1.2.0&to=data.table" data-mini-rdoc="data.table::fread">fread</a></code>?
When reading many large historical files, speedup is significant.
NA can also be used, which means TRUE if data.table is available.
DEFAULT: FALSE

fread

Logical (vector): add a short description to the DWD variable 
abbreviations in the column names?
E.g. change <code>FX,TNK</code> to <code>FX.Windspitze,TNK.Lufttemperatur_Min</code>,
see <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/newColumnNames?package=rdwd&version=1.2.0" data-mini-rdoc="rdwd::newColumnNames">newColumnNames</a></code>.
DEFAULT: FALSE (for backwards compatibility)

varnames

Char (vector): Format passed to
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/as.POSIXct?package=rdwd&version=1.2.0" data-mini-rdoc="rdwd::as.POSIXct">as.POSIXct</a></code> (see <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/strptime?package=rdwd&version=1.2.0" data-mini-rdoc="rdwd::strptime">strptime</a></code>)
to convert the date/time column to POSIX time format.
If NULL, no conversion is performed (date stays a factor).
If NA, <code>readDWD</code> tries to find a suitable format based
on the number of characters. DEFAULT: NA

format

Char (vector): time zone for <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/as.POSIXct?package=rdwd&version=1.2.0" data-mini-rdoc="rdwd::as.POSIXct">as.POSIXct</a></code>.
"" is the current time zone, and "GMT" is UTC (Universal Time,
Coordinated). DEFAULT: "GMT"

Suppress empty file warnings? DEFAULT: FALSE
