knowndbs

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
