check_dir(arg = deparse(substitute(input)), input, check_slash = FALSE)

Arguments

arg	(optional) A character string which defines the argument of a parent function.
input	A character string which defines a directory.
check_slash	A logical input that defines whether or not to check the end of a string for '/'. If TRUE and a '/' is lacking, this is added to the returned directory.

Value
