keep: Remove All Objects, Except Those Specified

Description

Remove all objects from the default workspace, except those specified.

Usage

keep(..., list = character(0), all = FALSE, sure = FALSE)

Arguments

...

objects to be kept, specified one by one, quoted or unquoted.

list

character vector of object names to be kept.

all

whether hidden objects (beginning with a .) should be removed, unless explicitly kept.

sure

whether to perform the removal, otherwise return names of objects that would have been removed.

Value

• A character vector containing object names, or NULL when sure is TRUE.

Details

Convenient interface to rm() when removing most objects from the default workspace.

Implemented with a few safety caps: objects whose name starts with a period . are not removed, and sure=TRUE is required to perform the removal.
