R Documentation

Reads sets of contiguous values in the file array

Description

Reads sets of contiguous values in the file array. A set of contiguous values are values that are connecting without a break. It is much faster to read contiguous sequences at once than read each value separately.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'AbstractFileArray'
readContiguousValues(this, indices, lengths=1, mode=getStorageMode(this),
  size=getBytesPerCell(this), offset=getDataOffset(this), ..., .checkArgs=TRUE)

Arguments

`indices`	A `numeric` `vector` of start (first) indices in each of the contiguous sets.
`length`	A `numeric` `vector` specifying the length of each of the contiguous sets.
`mode`	The storage mode to read.
`size`	The number of bytes each values allocates on file.
`offset`	The file offset to the first value on file.
`...`	Not used.
`.checkArgs`	If `TRUE`, arguments are validated, otherwise not.

Value

Returns a numeric vector.
