Open a connection to a SciViews socket client for write access

A 'sockclientconn' object is created that opens a connection from R to a SciViews socket client (that must be currently connected). A timeout is defined by options(timeout = XX) where XX is a number of seconds. In R, its default value is 60 sec.

socket_client_connection(
  client,
  server_port = 8888,
  socket,
  blocking = FALSE,
  open = "a",
  encoding = getOption("encoding")
)

# S3 method for sockclientconn
summary(object, ...)

socketClientConnection(
  client,
  server_port = 8888,
  socket,
  blocking = FALSE,
  open = "a",
  encoding = getOption("encoding")
)

Arguments

client: the client identification. By default, it is the socket identifier as it appears in get_socket_clients(). The client must be currently connected.
server_port: the port on which the server is running, 8888 by default. This server must be currently running.
socket: the Tcl socket name where the targeted client is connected. If not provided, it will be guessed from client, otherwise, client is ignored.
blocking: logical. Should the connection wait that the data is written before exiting?
open: character. How the connection is opened. Currently, only "a" for append (default) or "w" for write access are usable.
encoding: the name of the encoding to use.
object: A 'sockclientconn' object as returned by socket_client_connection().
...: further arguments passed to the method (not used for the moment).

Value

socket_client_connection() creates a 'sockclientconn' object redirects text send to it to the SciViews socket server client. It is inherits from a 'sockconn' object (see socketConnection()), and the only difference is that output is redirected to a Tcl socket corresponding to a given SciViews socket client currently connected.
