s2c: Server-to-Client Object Transfer

In remoter: Remote R: Control a Remote R Session from a Local One

Description

This function allows you to pass an object from the server to the local R session behind the client.

Usage

s2c(object, newname, env = .GlobalEnv)

Arguments

object	A remote R object.
newname	The name the object should take when it is stored on the local client's R session. Must be the form of a character string. If left blank, the local name will be the same as the original (remote) object's name.
env	The environment into which the assignment will take place. The default is the global environment.

Details

Localize R objects.

A newname, if specified, must be passed as a string (not a literal; i.e., "mynewname", not mynewname). The name must also be syntactically valid (see ?make.names).

Value

Returns TRUE invisibly on successful exit.
