Arguments

expr	An R expression.
envir	The environment from where global objects should be identified.
substitute	If TRUE, argument expr is substitute():ed, otherwise not.
globals	(optional) a logical, a character vector, or a named list to control how globals are handled. For details, see section 'Globals used by future expressions' in the help for future().
packages	(optional) a character vector specifying packages to be attached in the R environment evaluating the future.
lazy	If FALSE (default), the future is resolved eagerly (starting immediately), otherwise not.
local	deprecated as of civis v3.0.1
gc	If TRUE, the garbage collector is run after the value of the future has been collected, i.e., when it is no longer needed or when the future is terminated.
label	An optional character string label attached to the future.
required_resources	resources, see scripts_post_containers
docker_image_name	the image for the container script.
docker_image_tag	the tag for the Docker image.
...	arguments to scripts_post_containers
future	CivisFuture object.
object	CivisFuture

Value

A CivisFuture inheriting from Future that evaluates expr on the given container.
