  cache.digest = list(),
  show.message = NULL,
  force.recalc = FALSE,
  add.to.hash = NULL
)

Arguments

fun	function call name
...	parameters for function call
seed	when function call is random, this allows to set seed beforehand
base.dir	directory where data is stored
cache.prefix	prefix for file name to be generated from parameters (...)
cache.digest	cache of the digest for one or more of the parameters
show.message	show message that data is being retrieved from cache
force.recalc	force the recalculation of the values

Examples

# [optional] save cache in a temporary directory
# otherwise it writes to the current directory
# to folder named run-cache
base.dir(tempdir())
#
run.cache(c, 1, 2, 3, 4)
#
# next three should use the same cache
#  note, the middle call should be a little faster as digest is not
#  calculated
#   for the first argument
run.cache(c, 1, 2, 3, 4)
run.cache(c, 1, 2, 3, 4, cache.digest = list(digest.cache(1)))
run.cache(c, a=1, 2, c= 3, 4)
