R raw to Hex conversion

Question

I am trying to take a look at how the rawToHex() function is implemented in PKI package.

I tried this:

> library(PKI)
Loading required package: base64enc
> PKI::rawToHex
Error: 'rawToHex' is not an exported object from 'namespace:PKI'
> PKI:::rawToHex
Error in get(name, envir = asNamespace(pkg), inherits = FALSE) : 
object 'rawToHex' not found

I am basically trying to understand how to convert raw data to Hex representation in R. So I wanted to take a look at this.

Your issue is that the function is called `raw2hex`. At least that's what it is on my machine. — giraffehere, Dec 15 '15 at 21:12

That error is clear: that function is not available in that package. The correct spelling is raw2hex

> PKI::raw2hex
function (what, sep, upper = FALSE) 
.Call(PKI_raw2hex, what, if (missing(sep)) NULL else sep, upper)
<environment: namespace:PKI>

You can't see the source in this way because it is compiled.

Please read this great answer.

Besides that, you can download the source code in CRAN.

Thanks. The src seems to be C code from CRAN. Any other thoughts on how to implement raw to hex in R without importing any package? The reason I am looking at implementing it in R is as a workaround since I am seeing a compilation error in Vertica when i try to load the pki library – Rookie Dec 15 '15 at 21:38
Sorry, no thoughts on that. However, it seems you have two more questions to post: 1) how to implement raw to hex in base R, and; 2) whatever error is that in Vertica when loading the PKI library. – iled Dec 15 '15 at 21:41
