\title{Read and write external matrix formats}
\description{
Read matrices stored in the Harwell-Boeing or MatrixMarket formats
or write sparseMatrix objects to one of these formats.
}
\usage{
readHB(file)
readMM(file)
writeHB(obj, file, ...) # deprecated
writeMM(obj, file, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{obj}{a real sparse matrix}
\item{file}{for \code{writeMM} - the name of the file to be written.
For \code{readHB} and \code{readMM} the name of the file to read, as
a character scalar. The names of files storing matrices in the
Harwell-Boeing format usually end in \code{".rua"} or \code{".rsa"}.
Those storing matrices in the MatrixMarket format usually end in
{".mtx"}.
Alternatively, \code{readHB} and \code{readMM} accept connection objects.}
\item{\dots}{optional additional arguments. Currently none are used in
any methods.}
}
\value{
The \code{readHB} and \code{readMM} functions return an object that
inherits from the \code{"Matrix"} class. Methods for the
\code{writeMM} generic functions usually return
\code{NULL} and, as a side effect, the matrix \code{obj} is written to
\code{file} in the MatrixMarket format (writeMM).
}
\note{
The Harwell-Boeing format is older and less flexible than the
MatrixMarket format. The function \code{writeHB} is now deprecated.
We recommend the use of \code{writeMM} instead.
