Report how much new data motus has for a tag detection database

"new" means data not already in your local database.

Usage

tellme(projRecv, new = FALSE, dir = getwd())

projRecv: Numeric. Project code from motus.org, or character receiver serial number.
new: Logical. Create a new database (Default FALSE)? Specify new = TRUE to create a new local copy of the database to be downloaded. Otherwise, it assumes the database already exists, and will stop with an error if it cannot find it in the current directory. This is mainly to prevent inadvertent downloads of large amounts of data that you already have!
dir: Character. Path to the folder where you are storing databases IF NULL (default), uses current working directory.

a named list with these items:

numBatches: number of batches having data for your database
numRuns: number of runs of tags detections with new data
numHits: number of new detections
numGPS: number of new GPS fixes covering the new detections
numBytes: estimated size of download, in bytes. This is an estimate of the uncompressed size, but data are gz-compressed for transfer, so the number of bytes you have to download is typically going to be smaller than this number by a factor of 2 or more.

if you specify new = TRUE and the database does not already exist, it will be created (but empty).
