RcppOctave (version 0.18.1)

o_ls: Listing Objects from the Current Octave Session

Description

The function o_ls is an enhanced listing function, which also lists user-defined functions, as opposed to o_who or o_whos, which only list variables. Note that this function works properly on Octave >= 3.6.1, but is known not to list user-defined functions on Octave 3.4.1 (for some unknown reason the Octave function completion_matches does not return the names of user-defined functions).

Usage

o_ls(long = FALSE, rm.ans = TRUE)

Arguments

long

logical that indicates the desired type of output: if FALSE (default) then only the names of the variables are returned (like dispatched o_who), otherwise a list with more detailed information about each variable is returned (like o_whos.

rm.ans

a logical that indicates if the automatic Octave variable ans should be included in the result. Default (TRUE) is not to include it.

Value

a character vector or a list depending on the value of argument long.
