R: Description of databases known by an ACNUC server

knowndbs {seqinr} | R Documentation

## Description of databases known by an ACNUC server

### Description

Returns, for each database known by the server, its name (a valid value for the `bank` argument of `choosebank`), availability (off means temporarily unavailable), and description.

### Usage

    knowndbs(tag = c(NA, "TP", "TEST", "DEV"), socket = autosocket())
    kdb(tag = c(NA, "TP", "TEST", "DEV"), socket = autosocket())

### Arguments

`tag` | default to NA, see details
`socket` | an object of class `sockconn` connecting to a remote ACNUC database (default is a socket to the last opened database).

### Details

When the optional `tag` argument is used, only databases tagged with the given string are listed; when this argument is NA (by default), only untagged databases are listed. The `tag` argument thus allows to identify series of special purpose (tagged) databases, in addition to default (untagged) ones.

### Value

A dataframe with 3 columns:

`bank` | string. Valid bank values known by the ACNUC server
`status` | string. "on" means available, "off" means temporarily unavailable
`info` | string. short description of the database
