Create a connection to a virtual disk

Establish a connection to a virtual disk stored as Amiga Disk Files (ADF). You cannot write or read directly from this connection. Instead, use the methods provided in this package to retrieve information about the virtual disk or create connections to the files on the disk, to which you can write and read from (see adf_file_con()). Like any other connection, please use close() to close the connection after use.

Usage

connect_adf(filename, write_protected = TRUE)

Arguments

filename

Filename of the ADF or ADZ file containing the virtual disk

write_protected

A logical value indicating whether the virtual disk needs to be write protected. If TRUE, you can only open 'read only' connections and cannot write to the disk.

Value

Returns an R connection of class adf_device.
