track (version 1.1.9)

track.info: Return filenames and directories for tracked variables.

Description

Return filenames and directories for tracked variables.

Usage

track.filename(expr, list = character(0), pos = 1, envir = as.environment(pos), suffix = FALSE) track.datadir(pos = 1, envir = as.environment(pos), relative = TRUE) track.info(pos = NULL, envir = as.environment(pos), all=is.null(pos)) track.mem(pos = NULL, envir = as.environment(pos), all=is.null(pos)) env.is.tracked(pos = 1, envir = as.environment(pos)) tracked.envs(envirs=search())

Arguments

expr
An unquoted variable name
list
A character vector of variable names
pos
The search path position of the environment being tracked (default is 1 for the global environment)
envir
The environment being tracked. This is an alternate way (to the use of pos=) of specifying the environment being tracked, but should be rarely needed.
suffix
: Return the filename with the RData suffix (extension) (taken from track.options("RDataSuffix"))
relative
: Return a path relative to the current working directory, or an absolute path?
all
Return info about all tracked environments?
envirs
A list or vector of objects that can be interpreted as environments by as.environment

##############################################################
# Warning: running this example will cause variables currently
# in the R global environment to be written to .RData files
# in a tracking database on the filesystem under R's temporary
# directory, and will cause the variables to be removed temporarily
# from the R global environment.
# It is recommended to run this example with a fresh R session
# with no important variables in the global environment.
