<p>The function <code>ab_url()</code> will return the direct URL to the official WHO website. A warning will be returned if the required ATC code is not available.</p>
<p>The function <code>set_ab_names()</code> is a special column renaming function for <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/data.frame.html"class="external-link">data.frame</a>s. It renames columns names that resemble antimicrobial drugs. It always makes sure that the new column names are unique. If <code>property = "atc"</code> is set, preference is given to ATC codes from the J-group.</p>
