This is a high-level function that passes control to read.glider.netcdf()
if the first argument is a string ending with ".nc", to
read.glider.seaexplorer.realtime() if it is a vector of strings, any
of which contains the text "pld1.sub." followed by one or more digits, or to
read.glider.seaexplorer.delayed() if it is a vector of strings, any
contains the text "pld1.raw." followed by one or more digits.
Arguments
- file
Character value giving the name of the file.
- debug
an integer specifying whether debugging information is to be printed during processing. If this is not provided, then the value of
getOption("gliderDebug",0)is used. The printing is done by a call togliderDebug. Settingdebug=0turns off this form of debugging, while higher values may yield more information, depending on the function. If onegliderfunction calls another, it passes the value ofdebugbut decreased by 1, which means that the value ofdebugcontrols not just the breadth of debugging, but also the depth.- ...
Extra parameters passed to more specific
read.*functions.
Value
A glider object, i.e. one inheriting from glider.
