Converts a genlight object into a format suitable for input to Bayescan

The output text file contains the SNP data and relevant BAyescan command lines to guide input.

Usage

gl2bayescan(x, outfile = "bayescan.txt", outpath = tempdir(), verbose = NULL)

Arguments

x: Name of the genlight object containing the SNP data [required].
outfile: File name of the output file (including extension) [default bayescan.txt].
outpath: Path where to save the output file [default tempdir(), mandated by CRAN]. Use outpath=getwd() or outpath='.' when calling this function to direct output files to your working directory.
verbose: Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity].

Value

returns no value (i.e. NULL)
