}
\arguments{
\item{data_file, catalog_file}{Path to data and catalog files. The files are
processed with \code{\link[readr]{datasource}()}.}

\item{encoding}{The character encoding used for the file. This defaults to

Reading supports both sas7bdat files and the accompanying sas7bdat files
that SAS uses to record value labels. Writing value labels is not currently
supported.
