R package fstcore
contains R bindings to the C++ fstlib
library which allows interfacing with fst files.
It also contains the LZ4
and ZSTD
sources used for compression. fstcore
exists as a package separate from the
fst
package to facilitate independent updates to the fstlib
, LZ4
and ZSTD
libraries and is used as a
backend to fst
.
Package fstcore
is automatically installed as a dependency when you install the fst
package from CRAN.
If you need to install it directly, you can use:
install.packages("fstcore")
You can also use the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fstpackage/fstcore", ref = "develop")
Please refer to https://www.fstpackage.org/fst to get an introduction to using the fst
package.
Questions, ideas and issues can be reported in the fst package repository.
