Get properties of the current or caller frame

Source: R/stack.R
stack.Rd

These accessors retrieve properties of frames on the call stack. The prefix indicates for which frame a property should be accessed:

  • From the current frame with current_ accessors.

  • From a calling frame with caller_ accessors.

  • From a matching frame with frame_ accessors.

The suffix indicates which property to retrieve:

  • _fn accessors return the function running in the frame.

  • _call accessors return the defused call with which the function running in the frame was invoked.

  • _env accessors return the execution environment of the function running in the frame.

Usage

Arguments

The number of callers to go back.

frame

A frame environment of a currently running function, as returned by caller_env(). NULL is returned if the environment does not exist on the stack.
