Re: [Rd] readBin() can read beyond end of raw vector

[Rd] readBin() can read beyond end of raw vector

FYI, in R v2.5.0 alpha, readBin() can be used to read beyond end of raw vector: > bfr <- as.raw(1:10) > readBin(con=bfr, what="raw", n=20) [1] 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a > readBin(con=bfr, what="integer", n=20) [1] 67305985 134678021 > readBin(con=bfr, what="integer", size=4, n=20) [1] 673
