rstream.packed-methods {rstream} | R Documentation |
Get status (packed/unopacked) of an "rstream" object in package rstream.
Pack and unpack an "rstream" object in package rstream.
When a "rstream" object should be used in another R session or saved for some kind of later reuse all information about the object must be packed. Notice no method other than unpacking can be applied to a packed object. It must be unpacked before.
