h_slots: Getting the Slots from a S4 Object

In Roche/crmPack: Object-Oriented Implementation of CRM Designs

Getting the Slots from a S4 Object

Description

This helper function extracts requested slots from the S4 class object. It is a simple wrapper of methods::slot() function.

Usage

h_slots(object, names, simplify = FALSE)

Arguments

object	(S4) an object from a formally defined S4 class.
names	(character) a vector with names of slots to be fetched. This function assumes that for every element in names, there exists a slot of the same name in the object.
simplify	(flag) should an output be simplified? This has an effect if and only if a single slot is about to be extracted, i.e. names is just a single string.

Value

list with the slots extracted from object according to names, or single slot if simplification is required and possible.
