Invoke a Pager on an R Object

Description

Displays a representation of the object named by x in a pager via file.show.

Usage

page(x, method = c("dput", "print"), ...)

Arguments

`x`	An R object, or a character string naming an object.
`method`	The default method is to dump the object via `dput`. An alternative is to use `print` and capture the output to be shown in the pager. Can be abbreviated.
`...`	additional arguments for `dput`, `print` or `file.show` (such as `title`).

Details

If x is a length-one character vector, it is used as the name of an object to look up in the environment from which page is called. All other objects are displayed directly.

A default value of title is passed to file.show if one is not supplied in ....
