Coerce raw data, as it would be stored in the Interchange File Format (IFF), and
convert it into an IFFChunk() class object.
Arguments
- x
A vector of raw data that needs to be converted into a
IFFChunk()class object.
Value
Returns an IFFChunk() class object based on x.
Details
This method should work for all IFF chunk types that are implemented in this package
(see IFFChunk-method() for details). For non-implemented chunks this method
may work properly as long as the chunks are nested inside a FORM type container chunk.
This method is provided for your convenience, but it is recommended to import IFFChunk
methods using the read.iff() function. Use as.raw()
to achieve the inverse of this method.

Examples
if (FALSE) {
## Get an IFFChunk object:
example.iff <- read.iff(system.file("ilbm8lores.iff", package = "AmigaFFH"))
## Coerce it to raw data:
example.raw <- as.raw(example.iff)
## Coerce raw data to IFF chunk:
example.iff.new <- rawToIFFChunk(example.raw)
## These conversions were non-destructive:
identical(example.iff, example.iff.new)
}
