getReplisting {reposTools} | R Documentation |
Given a repository URL, will retrieve that repository's replisting information.
getReplisting(repURL, repFile = "replisting")
repURL |
URL of the repository to access |
repFile |
Name of the replisting file |
The 'repFile' argument should almost always be left to its default.
This function will contact the specified repository, and attempt to retrive its replisting file. This downloaded data is then formed into an object of class replisting and returned to the user.
The appropriate replisting object, or NULL upon failure.
