Call a ``Primitive'' Internal Function

Usage

--no real usage--

Arguments

name name of the R function.

Description

.Primitive is not a real R object, but rather the result of a syntactically pleasing print method for so called ``primitive'' internal R functions.

The advantage of .Primitive over .Internal functions is the potential efficiency of argument passing.

See Also

.Internal.

Examples

c
.Internal # this one *must* be primitive!
get("if") # just `if' or `print(if)' are not syntactically ok.
