Verify Dictionary Integrity

Source: R/download_dictionary.R
verify_dictionary.Rd

Verifies the integrity of a locally installed dictionary by comparing its MD5 checksum against the bundled reference checksums. Works for both core and on-demand dictionaries.

Usage

verify_dictionary(name, format = c("qs2", "rda"), path = NULL)

Arguments

name

Character. Dictionary name (e.g., "sensorimotor", "global_surnames").

format

Character. File format to verify: "qs2" (default) or "rda".

path

Character. Custom path to search for the dictionary file. If NULL (the default), searches the standard locations (extdata, data, ondemand, cache).

Value

A list with components:

  • name: Dictionary name

  • format: File format verified

  • ok: TRUE if checksum matches, FALSE if mismatch, NA if checksum unavailable

  • expected: Expected MD5 hash from reference file

  • actual: Computed MD5 hash of the local file

  • path: Path to the local file (NA if not found)
