ri_getCollection.Rd

This function returns the default IRODS collection set with ri_setCollection.

Usage

ri_getCollection()

Value

A string with the name of the default iRODS collection

Details

This function doesn't have any arguments

This package uses a default collection, which you must set manually with ri_setCollection. If you manipulate (store/retrieve etc) your data objects, it is assumed that they exists in this default collection, unless you provide a specific collection in the function arguments.

Many functions in the ricmd package will call this function if no collection is provided as argument to these functions. This is shortcut to prevent that the user must provide the full path of the collection each time the user manipulates a data object.
