Return the type of an AmiraMesh file on disk or a parsed header

amiratype(x, bytes = NULL)

Arguments

x

Path to files on disk or a single pre-parsed parameter list
bytes

A raw vector containing at least 11 bytes from the start of the file.

Value

character vector (NA_character_ when file invalid)

Details

Note that when checking a file we first test if it is an AmiraMesh file (fast, especially when bytes!=NULL) before reading the header and determining content type (slow).
