Statis...O::RDS(3pm)

💖 Statistics::R::IO::RDS 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual — it's Statistics::R::IO::RDS, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little modules out there. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Statistics::R::IO::RDS — Supply object methods for RDS files

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.0002

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Statistics::R::IO::RDS;

my $rds = Statistics::R::IO::RDS->new('file.rds');
my $var = $rds->read;
print $var->to_pl;
$rds->close;

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. four lines and you're living your best life 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Statistics::R::IO::RDS gives you an object-oriented interface to parsing RDS files. no cap.

and what even is an RDS file, you ask? okay so, an RDS file stores a serialization of a single R object — and if that object has references to other objects (think: environments 👀) then all the referenced objects come along too. it's a whole friend group, they travel together, periodt.

these files get created in R using the readRDS function, and they're typically named with the .rds file extension. iconic behavior honestly.

---

💅 METHODS 💅

Statistics::R::IO::RDS inherits from Statistics::R::IO::Base and provides an implementation for the read method that parses RDS files. family business 🧚

🌟 read

Reads the contents of the filehandle and returns a Statistics::R::REXP.

that's the whole job. it reads, it returns, it slays.

---

💀 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 💀
