    path = tempdir())

`unit.nm`	`character` or `NULL`. Name of an administrative unit (e.g. municipality), or the name of such an unit plus its corresponding higher-level unit (e.g. department/state). If `NULL` then a list of unit names is printed.
`level`	`numeric`. A number between zero and two, indicating any of the levels of administrative subdivisions in `GADM` (`0=country`, `1=first level of subdivision`, and `2=second level of subdivision`).
`country`	`character`. `ISO` code specifying a `country`. Default `'COL'`
`path`	`character`. Path name indicating where the unit will be stored.Default `tempdir()`.
