read.AmigaIcon

Read an Amiga Workbench icon (info) file

Description

Graphical representation of files and directories (icons) are stored as separate files (with the .info extension) on the Amiga. This function reads such files and imports them as AmigaIcon class objects.

Usage

Arguments

`file`	A `character` string representing the file name from which the icon data should be read.
`disk`	A virtual Commodore Amiga disk from which the `file` should be read. This should be an `amigaDisk` object. Using this argument requires the adfExplorer package. When set to `NULL`, this argument is ignored.
`...`	Arguments passed on to `rawToAmigaIcon`.

The AmigaIcon is a named list containing all information of an icon. Use this function to read an Amiga icon (with the .info extension) from a file and convert it into an AmigaIcon object.

Value
