write a manifest data.frame to disk — write_manifest • GenomicDataCommons

The manifest method creates a data.frame that represents the data for a manifest file needed by the GDC Data Transfer Tool. While the file format is nothing special, this is a simple helper function to write a manifest data.frame to disk. It returns the path to which the file is written, so it can be used "in-line" in a call to transfer.

Usage

write_manifest(manifest, destfile = tempfile())

Arguments

manifest: A data.frame with five columns, typically created by a call to manifest
destfile: The filename for saving the manifest.

Value

character(1) the destination file name.

Examples

mf = files() %>% manifest(size=10)
write_manifest(mf)
#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpyfLosR/file4ec3607e5f2c"
