abstract: A modern, memory-efficient R package for reading and converting DBC files
  produced by the Brazilian Ministry of Health's 'DATASUS' system. DBC files are DBF
  databases compressed with the 'PKWare' implode algorithm. Unlike 'read.dbc', this
  package processes files in streaming mode, never loading the full dataset into RAM.
  It can export directly to CSV or DBF and provides R helpers for in-memory reading
  and Parquet conversion.
