`x`	The object to be written to clipboard, preferably a vector, matrix or data frame.
`limit`	The limit on the text to be written to the clipboard. Defaults to 32Kb.
`quote`	A logical value (`TRUE` or `FALSE`) or a numeric vector. If `TRUE`, any character or factor columns will be surrounded by double quotes. If a numeric vector, its elements are taken as the indices of columns to quote. In both cases, row and column names are quoted if they are written. If `FALSE`, nothing is quoted. Defaults to `FALSE`.
`dec`	The string to use for decimal points in numeric or complex columns; must be a single character. Defaults to `","`.
`sep`	The field separator string. Values within each row of `x` are separated by this string. Defaults to `"\t"`.
`row.names`	Either a logical value indicating whether the row names of `x` are to be written along with `x`, or a character vector of row names to be written. Defaults to `FALSE`.
`col.names`	Either a logical value indicating whether the column names of `x` are to be written along with `x`, or a character vector of column names to be written. Defaults to `FALSE`.
`file`	File name.
`from`	Original format.
`to`	Format to which the file must be converted.
`cols`	Desired number of columns.
`layout`	Plot layout; optional.
`char`	Character vector.
`type`	Translate to `html` or `latex`.
`...`	For `collapse0`: Elements to be collapsed; For `write_cb`: Other arguments to be passed to `write.table`; For `read_cb`: Other arguments to be passed to `read.table`; For `multiplot`: ggplot2 objects; For `readxl`: Arguments to be passed to `read_excel`.
