In /usr/share/doc/r-doc-html/manual/R-data.html (at least that's where it is on Debian...) the documentation is unclear. Comments below. The paragraph has unclear references, and I have no idea what it actually means. >> Base R comes with some facilities to communicate via BSD sockets on systems that support them (...). One potential problem.... >> For new projects it is suggested that socket connections are used instead. "Used instead"? Instead of what? >>The earlier low-level interface is given by functions make.socket, read.socket, write.socket and close.socket. What does "earlier" mean? Earlier than what? ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
