Special environments like the global environment have their own
names. env_name() returns:
"global" for the global environment.
"empty" for the empty environment.
"base" for the base package environment (the last environment on the search path).
"namespace:pkg" if
envis the namespace of the package "pkg".The
nameattribute ofenvif it exists. This is how the package environments and the imports environments store their names. The name of package environments is typically "package:pkg".The empty string
""otherwise.
env_label() is exactly like env_name() but returns the memory
address of anonymous environments as fallback.
Examples
# Some environments have specific names:
env_name(global_env())
#> [1] "global"
env_name(ns_env("rlang"))
#> [1] "namespace:rlang"
# Anonymous environments don't have names but are labelled by their
# address in memory:
env_name(env())
#> [1] ""
env_label(env())
#> [1] "0x562ebbfc28b8"
