Description

When a function requires several arguments as a list, userSpecifiedList is designed to 'match' users arguments to default argument structure.

Usage

userSpecifiedList(l, l.default, el.default = NULL)

Arguments

l	A named or unnamed list or vector of elements.
l.default	The default list of arguments needed by a function.
el.default	if length of l is longer than 1, el.default can be set to an numeric value to select one default element

Value

users.arguments   <- list(history = FALSE)
userSpecifiedList ( l = users.arguments, l.default = default.arguments)

users.arguments   <- FALSE
