R: Examples for 'utils::fileSnapshot'

### ** Examples

# Create some files in a temporary directory
dir <- tempfile()
dir.create(dir)
writeBin(1L, file.path(dir, "file1"))
writeBin(2L, file.path(dir, "file2"))
dir.create(file.path(dir, "dir"))

# Take a snapshot
snapshot <- fileSnapshot(dir, timestamp = tempfile("timestamp"), md5sum=TRUE)
## Don't show: 
Sys.sleep(.01)
## End(Don't show)  
# Change one of the files.
writeBin(3L:4L, file.path(dir, "file2"))

# Display the detected changes.  We may or may not see mtime change...
changedFiles(snapshot)

File changes:
      size mtime Newer md5sum
file2 TRUE  TRUE  TRUE   TRUE

changedFiles(snapshot)$changes

       size isdir  mode mtime Newer md5sum
dir   FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE     NA
file1 FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  FALSE
file2  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE   TRUE
