R: Get help from an ACNUC server

ghelp {seqinr} | R Documentation

## Get help from an ACNUC server

### Description

Reads one item of information in specified help file from an ACNUC server. The are differences between ACNUC clients so that this help could be confusing. However, the query language is common to all clients so that the most recent documentation is most likely here.

### Usage

    ghelp(item = c("GENERAL", "SELECT", "SPECIES", "KEYWORD"),
     file = c("HELP", "HELP_WIN"), socket = autosocket(), catresult = TRUE)

### Arguments

`item` | the name of the desired help item
`file` | the name of the help file on server side.
`socket` | an object of class `sockconn` connecting to a remote ACNUC database (default is a socket to the last opened database).
`catresult` | logical. If TRUE output is redirected to the console.

### Value

A vector of string which is returned invisibly and "cated" to the console by default.
