Remove All Objects, Except Those Specified

Description

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

Usage

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

Arguments

... objects to be kept, specified one by one, quoted or unquoted.
list character vector of object names to be kept.
sure whether to perform the removal, otherwise return names of objects that would have been removed.

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.

Value

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