ingest_header reads in header information from datasets that were
created using ingest_*. The dataset must have been ingested within the
same R session. All ingest functions use the source file's base name
as an identifying column to track provenance and relate data and metadata
read from files.
ingest_header(input.source)
| input.source | Character indicating the source file, must match the input.source used to originally ingest the data |
|---|
This function returns a dataframe containing the header information
for the file. Refer to the help page for ingest_* for more
information.
All ingest_* functions for data files that include header data write
that data to a temporary file. This header data can then be loaded and
manipulated by the user using ingest_header.
