Hi, I have tried to follow the instructions in the ``save`` documentation and it doesn't seem to work (see below):
mydata <- do.call(rbind, rep(iris, 10000)) con <- pipe("pigz -p8 > fname.gz", "wb"); save(mydata, file = con); close(con) # This runs R.utils::gunzip("fname.gz", "fname.RData", overwrite = TRUE) load("fname.RData") # Error: error reading from connection First question: Should the above work? Second question: Is it possible to make this dummy friendly by allowing "pigz" as an option for ``compress`` in saveRDS and save? And in such a way that the decompressing is hidden from the user like normal? Thanks!
