fn_envR Documentation

Return the closure environment of a function

Description

Closure environments define the scope of functions (see env()). When a function call is evaluated, R creates an evaluation frame that inherits from the closure environment. This makes all objects defined in the closure environment and all its parents available to code executed within the function.

Usage

fn_env(fn)

fn_env(x) <- value

Arguments

fn, x

A function.

value

A new closure environment for the function.

Details

fn_env() returns the closure environment of fn. There is also an assignment method to set a new closure environment.

Examples

env <- child_env("base")
fn <- with_env(env, function() NULL)
identical(fn_env(fn), env)

other_env <- child_env("base")
fn_env(fn) <- other_env
identical(fn_env(fn), other_env)
