.whereInStack R Documentation
Search for objects in the call stack
Description
Normally, this is only used in special, advanced uses. The standard approach
to getting an object from an environment in the call stack is to explicitly
pass it into the function.
Usage
.whereInStack(obj, startingEnv = parent.frame())
Arguments
obj
Character string. The object name to search.
startingEnv
An environment to start searching in.
Value
The environment in which the object exists. It will return the
first environment it finds, searching outwards from where the function is used.
