Usage

## Default S3 method:
saveObject(object, file=NULL, path=NULL, compress=TRUE, ..., safe=TRUE)

Arguments

object The object to be saved.
file A filename or connection where the object should be saved. If NULL, the filename will be the hash code of the object plus ".xdr".
path Optional path, if file is a filename.
compress If TRUE, the file is compressed to, otherwise not.
