architecture: Get the architecture of an object or coerce it into another

In R.devices: Unified Handling of Graphics Devices

Get the architecture of an object or coerce it into another

Description

Get the architecture of an object or coerce it into another

Usage

architecture(x, ...)

as.architecture(
  x,
  ostype = .Platform$OS.type,
  arch = R.version$arch,
  ptrsize = .Machine$sizeof.pointer,
  endian = .Platform$endian,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	The object to be coerced.
...	(optional) Additional arguments passed to the underlying method.
ostype	A character string, e.g. "unix" and "windows".
arch	A character string, e.g. "i386", "i686" and "x86_64".
ptrsize	The target pointer size - either 4L or 8L.
endian	The target endianess - either "little" or "big".

Value

architecture() returns a named list with character element ostype and arch, integer element ptrsize, and character element endian. These elements take a missing values if they could not be inferred.

as.architecture() returns a coerced version of x. If no coercion was needed, then x itself is returned.
