Usage

name(x, nam = x, ...)

col_name(x, nam = x, ...)

row_name(x, nam = x, ...)

Arguments

x	object to be named or renamed with a 'names', 'colnames' or 'rownames' attribute
nam	vector of names or a function
...	additional arguments to used by nam if it is a function

Value

x with a modified name. If nam is a function then the names attribute is modified with names(x) <- nam(names(x), ...).
