A.R.U.B.A.: Annotated Reference for Under-coded Border Areas

A convenience wrapper around island_lookup with Aruba as the default. Calling aruba() returns Aruba's classification row; passing another country or ISO code returns that one instead.

Usage

aruba(x = "Aruba", quiet = getOption("islandcodes.aruba.quiet", FALSE))

Arguments

x

A character vector of country names or ISO codes. Defaults to "Aruba".

quiet

Logical. If FALSE (the default in interactive sessions, when called with no arguments) a short homage message is printed once. Set to TRUE, or set options(islandcodes.aruba.quiet = TRUE) globally, to silence.

Value

A data frame with one row per element of x (the same shape as island_lookup).

Details

Named in homage to Edward Cheung, the Aruban engineer at NASA Goddard who designed A.R.U.B.A. (the ASCS/NCS Relay Unit Breaker Assembly) installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during the 2002 servicing mission. Cheung engineered the backronym specifically so children in his home country would have something concrete to point to on the telescope. We borrowed the trick. His ARUBA cuts power to Hubble's instruments when there is a fault; ours returns a row of classification data. Both spell Aruba.
