Per-user cache directory for fetched corpora

Source: R/corpora.R
lexsync_cache_dir.Rd

The directory tools::R_user_dir("lexsync", "cache") names for this package, created on first use. It is where fetch_corpus() puts a download unless told otherwise, and it is the only place the package writes to without being handed a path.

Usage

lexsync_cache_dir()

Value

A writable cache directory path (created if absent).

Details

The cache persists between sessions and lexsync never prunes it. A registered corpus is a delimited word list, and a download is refused above 200 MB, so a cache holding several large corpora can reach a few hundred megabytes. It holds nothing that cannot be fetched again, so it may be deleted at any time, whole or file by file, and the next call downloads afresh.
