Output redirection

Source: R/sink.R
with_sink.Rd

Temporarily divert output to a file via sink(). For sinks of type message, an error is raised if such a sink is already active.

Usage

with_output_sink(new, code, append = FALSE, split = FALSE)

local_output_sink(
  new = list(),
  append = FALSE,
  split = FALSE,
  .local_envir = parent.frame()
)

with_message_sink(new, code, append = FALSE)

local_message_sink(new = list(), append = FALSE, .local_envir = parent.frame())

Arguments

new

[character(1)|connection]
A writable connection or a character string naming the file to write to. Passing NULL will throw an error.

code

[any]
Code to execute in the temporary environment

append

logical. If TRUE, output will be appended to file; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of file.

split

logical: if TRUE, output will be sent to the new sink and to the current output stream, like the Unix program tee.

.local_envir

[environment]
The environment to use for scoping.

Value

[any]
