getWritablePathname.Arguments

Gets a writable pathname

Description

Gets a writable pathname.

Usage

## Static method (use this):
## Arguments$getWritablePathname(..., mustExist=FALSE, mustNotExist=FALSE, mkdirs=TRUE,
##   maxTries=5L)

## Don't use the below:
## S3 method for class 'Arguments'
getWritablePathname(static, ..., mustExist=FALSE, mustNotExist=FALSE, mkdirs=TRUE,
  maxTries=5L)

Arguments

`...`	Arguments passed to `*getReadablePathname()`.
`mustExist`	If `TRUE` and the pathname does not exists, an Exception is thrown, otherwise not.
`mustNotExist`	If the file exists, and `mustNotExist` is `TRUE`, an Exception is thrown. If the file exists, and `mustNotExist` is `FALSE`, or the file does not exists, the pathname is accepted.
`mkdirs`	If `TRUE`, `mustNotExist` is `FALSE`, and the path to the file does not exist, it is (recursively) created.
`maxTries`	A positive `integer` specifying how many times the method should try to create a missing directory before giving up. For more details, see `mkdirs`.

Value

Returns a character string of the pathname of the file. If the argument was invalid an Exception is thrown.

Missing values

If any argument in ... is NA, an exception is thrown.
