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 copy of object
, possibly with modifications to its
data
slot, if object
contains flag values that have
actions that alter the data.
an oce object.
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.
