  type = c("character", "integer", "logical", "numeric"),
  desc = "",
  optional = grepl("\\?$", type)
)

return_spec(type = c("character", "integer", "logical", "numeric"), desc = "")

Arguments

type	A string indicating the data type that is required for this argument.
desc	A human-readable description of the argument. Used to generate documentation.
optional	If TRUE, then this argument need not be present in a request. Defaults to TRUE if type ends with a "?" character.
