flobr is an R package to convert files to and from
flobs.
A flob is a file that was read into binary in integer-mode as little endian, saved as the single element of a named list (where the name is the name of the original file including its extension) and then serialized before being coerced into a blob.
Flobs are useful for writing and reading files to and from databases.
library(flobr)
path <- system.file("extdata", "flobr.pdf", package = "flobr")
flob <- flob(path)
str(flob)
#> List of 1
#> $ /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/flobr/extdata/flobr.pdf: raw [1:133851] 58 0a 00 00 ...
#> - attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "flob" "blob"
flob_name(flob)

unflob(flob, tempdir())
