\title{Save xgboost model to binary file}
\usage{
xgb.save(model, fname)
}
\arguments{
\item{model}{model object of \code{xgb.Booster} class.}
\item{fname}{name of the file to write.}
}
\description{
Save xgboost model to a file in binary format.
}
\details{
This methods allows to save a model in an xgboost-internal binary format which is universal
among the various xgboost interfaces. In R, the saved model file could be read-in later
using either the \code{\link{xgb.load}} function or the \code{xgb_model} parameter
of \code{\link{xgb.train}}.
Note: a model can also be saved as an R-object (e.g., by using \code{\link[base]{readRDS}}
or \code{\link[base]{save}}). However, it would then only be compatible with R, and
corresponding R-methods would need to be used to load it.
