Write an ADAT to File
Description
One can write an existing modified internal ADAT
(soma_adat R object) to an external file.
However the ADAT object itself must have intact
attributes, see is_intact_attr().
Usage
write_adat(x, file)
Arguments
x |
A |
file |
Character. File path where the object should be written.
For example, extensions should be |
Details
The ADAT specification no longer requires Windows
end of line (EOL) characters ("\r\n").
The current EOL spec is "\n" which is commonly used in POSIX systems,
like MacOS and Linux.
Since the EOL affects the resulting checksum, ADATs written on
other systems generate slightly differing files.
Standardizing to "\n" attempts to solve this issue.
For reference, see the EOL encoding for operating systems below:
| Symbol | Platform | Character |
| LF | Linux | "\n" |
| CR | MacOS | "\r" |
| CRLF | DOS/Windows | "\r\n"
|
Value
Invisibly returns the input x.

Examples
# trim to 1 sample for speed
adat_out <- head(example_data, 1L)
# attributes must(!) be intact to write
is_intact_attr(adat_out)
write_adat(adat_out, file = tempfile(fileext = ".adat"))
