| hasArg {methods} | R Documentation |
Returns TRUE if name corresponds to an argument in the
call, either a formal argument to the function, or a component of
..., and FALSE otherwise.
hasArg(name)
name |
The unquoted name of a potential argument. |
The expression hasArg(x), for example, is similar to
!missing(x), with two exceptions. First, hasArg will look for
an argument named x in the call if x is not a formal
argument to the calling function, but ... is. Second,
hasArg never generates an error if given a name as an argument,
whereas missing(x) generates an error if x is not a
formal argument.
Always TRUE or FALSE as described above.
