| standardGeneric {base} | R Documentation |
These routines are primitives used with the methods package.
They should not be used without it and do not need to be called
directly in any case.
standardGeneric:dispatch the method defined for generic function named f,
using the actual arguments in the frame from which
standardGeneric is called.
objWithClass:return the result of setting the class of object to
value. Defined as a separate primitive function because R
types cannot generally be changed in place.
dataClass: returns a single string for the class of
object even in the case that the object has an old-style
class attribute with multiple strings.
topicName:the string used internally to find documenation of the given type
and topic. Called by the ? operator and the special prompt
functions in the methods package.
