Method new()

Start an R CMD process.

Usage

rcmd_process$new(options)

Arguments

options

A list of options created via rcmd_process_options().

Returns

A new rcmd_process object.

---

Method finalize()

Clean up the temporary files created for an R CMD process.

Usage

rcmd_process$finalize()

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

rcmd_process$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
options <- rcmd_process_options(cmd = "config", cmdargs = "CC")
rp <- rcmd_process$new(options)
rp$wait()
rp$read_output_lines()
}
