A tracing utility for the GCAM Data System.

dstrace(
  object_name,
  direction = "upstream",
  graph = FALSE,
  gcam_data_map = NULL,
  previous_tracelist = NULL,
  recurse = TRUE,
  print = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object_name: Name of object to trace (can be either a data object or a code chunk)
direction: Trace direction ("upstream", the default; "downstream"; or "both"), character
graph: Plot a directed graph of relationships? Logical
gcam_data_map: A tibble of metadata information; normally a built-in package dataset
previous_tracelist: Information about previous objects printed
recurse: Recurse to print information about precursor objects? Logical
print: Print trace to console? Logical
...: Extra arguments passed on to dstrace_plot

Value

A tibble with the trace information (object name and trace number), invisibly

Details

What other data products feed into some particular data system object? Conversely, to what other products does some object feed? These are the kinds of questions that dstrace can help answer.
