oceRenameData

Rename an item within the <code>data</code> slot of an oce object, also changing
<code>dataNamesOriginal</code> in the <code>metadata</code> slot, so that the <code>[[</code> accessor will
still work with the original name that was stored in the data.

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively by
Kelley (2018) "Oceanographic Analysis with R" <doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-8844-0>.

oceRenameData function

<dl><dt>object</dt>
<dd>an oce object.</dd>
<dt>old</dt>
<dd>character value that matches the name of an item in <code>object</code>'s <code>data</code> slot.</dd>
<dt>new</dt>
<dd>character value to be used as the new name that matches the name of an item in
<code>object</code>'s <code>data</code> slot. Thus must not be the name of something that is already in the <code>data</code>
slot. If <code>new</code> is the same as <code>old</code>, then the object is returned unaltered.</dd>
<dt>note</dt>
<dd>character value that holds an explanation of the reason for the change. If this
is a string of non-zero length, then this is inserted in the processing log of the returned
value. If it is <code>NULL</code>, then no entry is added to the processing log. Otherwise, the processing
log gets a new item that is constructed from the function call.</dd></dl>
