Function to set by reference the "instr.desc"
attribute of an existing
generic_spct
or derived-class object, or of a
summary_generic_spct
or derived-class object.
setInstrDesc(x, instr.desc)instr_descriptor(x) <- value
x
, with the value of its "instr.desc"
attribute set to
the value of the argument passed to instr.desc
or to value
.
a generic_spct
object or a summary_generic_spct
object.
a list
, instr_desc
object, or
NULL
.
This function alters x
itself by reference and in addition
returns x
invisibly. If x
is not a generic_spct
object,
x
is not modified, silently. If inst.desc = NULL
is passed
in the call, the attribute "instr.desc"
is removed.
This function is very rarely called from user code.
