R: Write Arrow data to a raw vector

write_to_raw {arrow} | R Documentation

## Write Arrow data to a raw vector

### Description

`write_ipc_stream()` and `write_feather()` write data to a sink and return the data (`data.frame`, `RecordBatch`, or `Table`) they were given. This function wraps those so that you can serialize data to a buffer and access that buffer as a `raw` vector in R.

### Usage

    write_to_raw(x, format = c("stream", "file"))

### Arguments

`x` | `data.frame`, RecordBatch, or Table
`format` | one of `c("stream", "file")`, indicating the IPC format to use

### Value

A `raw` vector containing the bytes of the IPC serialized data.
