Finds elements in a list whose names match some given arguments

1	matching(x, ..., .notmatching = FALSE)

`x`	named list, input elements
`...`	named lists, functions or function names `x` is to be matched against, see the details
`.notmatching`	if `TRUE`, the opposite is done: return all elements whose names do not match the given arguments.

For functions or functions names contained in ..., the argument list is matched. This works only for non primitive functions.

a simplist containing those elements of x whose names match the arguments, see details.

A <- list(col = "red", xlab = "x", u = 13, v = 91)
B <- list(u = 5, t = 2)
str(matching(A, B))
str(matching(A, "plot.default"))
str(matching(A, plot.default, B))

# using predefined lists for graphical parameters, and plot.default parameters
str(matching(A, .graphparams, .plotparams))
