metadata( x, ...)

metadata( x, add=FALSE ) <- value

Arguments

x	a TransferFunction R object
...	optional names of metadata to return
value	a named list. If add is FALSE, value replaces any existing metadata. If add is TRUE, value is appended to the existing list of metadata. If a name already exists, its value is updated using modifyList(). Unnamed items in value are ignored.
add	if add=FALSE, any existing metadata is discarded. If add=TRUE then existing metadata is preserved, using modifyList().

Details

The metadata list is stored as attr(x,'metadata'). After construction this list is empty.

Value
