💅 LIBRDATA(3) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the librdata manual page — third section of the manual, if you're keeping track 👑

✨ NAME ✨

librdata — manipulating GNU R data with C/C++ 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

librdata is a shared object library (that's a *.so file, iykyk) 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: the librdata shared object library is literally aimed at giving C/C++ developers an application programming interface for reading and writing R data frames. that's it, that's the whole main character energy 🌈

it's giving "glue between your C/C++ code and your R data frames" and honestly? iconic 🫶

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

bestie these are the little rituals you do to actually get librdata into your project, no cap:

  • to include files from the librdata library, write an inclusion statement of this sort:
#include <rdata/rdata.h>
  • to link to the rdata library, add a linker flag: -lrdata. that's it. slay 💅
  • to CMake-find the package: find_package(RData)
  • to CMake-configure the package: find_package(RDataConfig.cmake)
  • to use the pkgconfig system: pkg-config --help pkg-config --libs rdata
ngl that last one is a whole mood, but that's exactly what the page says, so we're keeping it verbatim 💀
