Details

is_flag and which.flag are internal functions not expected to be called directly.

They are used to identify which elements of the option vector are option names (as opposed to option values). Options are identified by getOptions('optigrab')$style$flag_test. By defailt, optigrab follows GNU-style command line arguments, i.e. those beginning with "--" or "-" and are set at the time of package loading.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  optigrab:::is_flag( c( "--foo", "bar") )
  optigrab:::is_flag( c( "--foo", "bar", "-f", "-b", "text" ) )
  
  optigrab:::which.flag( c( "--foo", "bar") )
  optigrab:::which.flag( c( "--foo", "bar", "-f", "-b", "text" ))

# }
