\item{x}{A terra SpatVector or sf object, or a path to a file that can be read as a SpatVectorProxy. Or a SpatRaster object that exists only in memory, or references a source file.}

\item{dsn}{Data source path / file name}

\item{layer}{Data layer}

\item{force}{Force write of vector data to file? Default: FALSE (only write if file does not exist)}

\item{tmpdir}{Directory to write temporary ESRI Shapefiles for vector input in memory or otherwise not already in shapefile. Default: \code{tempdir()}}

\item{pattern}{Character vector giving the initial part of the temporary file name}

\item{verbose}{Print information about data source and contents?}

\item{...}{Additional arguments passed to \code{terra::writeVector()} or \code{sf::st_write()}}
