\title{Dump an xgboost model in text format.}
\usage{
xgb.dump(model = NULL, fname = NULL, fmap = "", with_stats = FALSE,
dump_format = c("text", "json"), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{model}{the model object.}
\item{fname}{the name of the text file where to save the model text dump.
If not provided or set to \code{NULL}, the model is returned as a \code{character} vector.}
\item{fmap}{feature map file representing feature types.
Detailed description could be found at
\url{https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/wiki/Binary-Classification#dump-model}.
See demo/ for walkthrough example in R, and
\url{https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/master/demo/data/featmap.txt}
for example Format.}
\item{with_stats}{whether to dump some additional statistics about the splits.
When this option is on, the model dump contains two additional values:
gain is the approximate loss function gain we get in each split;
cover is the sum of second order gradient in each node.}
\item{dump_format}{either 'text' or 'json' format could be specified.}
\item{...}{currently not used}
}
\value{
If fname is not provided or set to \code{NULL} the function will return the model
as a \code{character} vector. Otherwise it will return \code{TRUE}.
