memuse (version 1.1)

Swaps: Swaps

Description

Methods for swapping between different memuse formats.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'memuse':
swap.unit(x, unit)
  ## S3 method for class 'memuse':
swap.prefix(x)
  ## S3 method for class 'memuse':
swap.names(x)

Arguments

x

memuse object

unit

new unit for the memuse object after the swap occurs

Value

• Returns a memuse class object.

Details

These methods allow simple (coherent) swaps between the different memuse formats. swap.unit() will switch an object to another, supplied unit. If the unit is from another prefix, then the prefix too will change. In this case, the size will change appropriately.

swap.prefix() will change an object from one unit.prefix to the other. In this case, the size will change appropriately.

swap.names will change from short to long, or long to short printing. The size and prefix of the object are unchanged.
