splat.phyloseq.objects: Convert phyloseq-class into a named list of its non-empty components.
Description
This is used in internal handling functions, and one of its key features
is that the names in the returned-list match the slot-names, which is useful
for constructing calls with language-computing functions like do.call.
Another useful aspect is that it only returns the contents of non-empty slots.
In general, this should only be used by phyloseq-package developers. Standard
users should not need or use this function, and should use the accessors and
other tools that leave the multi-component object in one piece.Usage
splat.phyloseq.objects(x)
Arguments
x
A phyloseq-class object. Alternatively, a component
data object will work, resulting in named list of length 1. Value
- A named list, where each element is a component object that was contained
in the argument,
x. Each element is named according to its slot-name in
the phyloseq-object from which it is derived.
If x is already a component data object,
then a list of length (1) is returned, also named.
