Search for OTB installations on Windows (bounded, cmd-free)

Source: R/otb_windows_search.R
searchOTBW.Rd

Detects Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) installations on Windows using a bounded set of plausible roots (no full-disk crawl). Modern standalone bundles (OTB 9.x) are detected by the presence of:

  • an environment script: otbenv.ps1 (preferred) or otbenv.bat

  • a launcher: bin/otbApplicationLauncherCommandLine.exe

  • at least one CLI wrapper in bin/: otbcli_*.ps1, otbcli_*.bat, or otbcli_*.exe

Usage

searchOTBW(searchLocation = "C:/", DL = NULL, maxdepth = 8L, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

searchLocation

Character scalar. Root directory to search (default "C:/").

DL

Character scalar. Deprecated alias for searchLocation.

maxdepth

Integer. Best-effort maximum recursion depth for the recursive list.files() search (default 8).

quiet

Logical. If TRUE, suppress messages.

Value

A data.frame with one row per detected installation and columns:

binDir

Normalized path to <root>/bin.

baseDir

Normalized OTB root directory.

otbCmd

Path to a detected CLI wrapper (ps1/bat/exe).

envScript

Path to otbenv.ps1 or otbenv.bat.

launcher

Path to otbApplicationLauncherCommandLine.exe.

installation_type

Classification string (e.g., "OTB_STANDALONE_PS1").

Details

Backward compatibility: older callers may pass DL instead of searchLocation. Internally, DL is treated as an alias for searchLocation.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# bounded search under C:/
searchOTBW("C:/", quiet = FALSE)

# legacy alias
searchOTBW(DL = "C:/", quiet = FALSE)
} # }
