This function is designed for internal use within the oce package. Its
purpose is to carry out low-level processing relating to data-quality flags,
as a support for higher-level functions such handleFlags,ctd-method for
ctd objects, handleFlags,adp-method for adp objects,
etc.
handleFlagsInternal(object, flags, actions, where, debug = 0)a named list of numeric values.
A character vector indicating actions to be carried out for the corresponding
flags values. This will be lengthened with rep() if necessary, to be
of the same length as flags. A common value for actions is "NA", which
means that data values that are flagged are replaced by NA in the returned result.
An optional string that permits the function to work with
objects that store flags in e.g. object@metadata$flags$where
instead of in object@metadata$flags, and data within
object@data$where instead of within object@data. The
appropriate value for where within the oce package is
the default, NULL, which means that this extra subdirectory
is not being used.
An integer indicating the degree of debugging requested, with value 0
meaning to act silently, and value 1 meaning to print some information about the
steps in processing.
A copy of object, possibly with modifications to its
data slot, if object contains flag values that have
actions that alter the data.
