You can use this function to call more TauDEM methods than the ones with dedicated wrappers in this package. Please refer to the relative TauDEM function documentation for the syntax used to specify optional arguments. See also examples.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive() && traudem::can_register_taudem()
test_dir <- withr::local_tempdir()
dir.create(test_dir)
file.copy(
   system.file("test-data", "DEM.tif", package = "traudem"),
   file.path(test_dir, "DEM.tif")
 )
 # Default name for output file, only input command and input filename.
taudem_exec("pitremove", file.path(test_dir, "DEM.tif"))

# syntax for user-attributed output file name
taudem_exec(
  "pitremove",
  c(
    "-z", file.path(test_dir, "DEM.tif"),
    "-fel", file.path(test_dir,"filled_pits.tif")
  )
)
