Is it a public C API to R connection? I couldn't find any. Can I use
the *Rconnection in user C code?
Instead of straight fopen, I would like the ability to read in
compressed file (gz, bz2), remote file, etc, using the implementation
that R already has, with a uniformed interface.
Also it would be nice to open the file/connect in R and handle any
exceptions/errors in R but do the actually reading in C (I'm dealing
with a binary format).
Thanks,
Michael
