Example

This example turns on debugging mode and sends the debugging information to stderr. The orch.dbg.output function returns a description of stderr.

R> orch.dbg.on('all')
R> err<-orch.dbg.output(stderr())
17:32:11 [SY] debug output set to "stderr"
R> print(err)
description          class     mode      text    opened    can read    can write
   "stderr"     "terminal"      "w"    "text"   "opened"       "no"        "yes"

The next example redirects the output to a file named debug.log:

R> err<-orch.dbg.output('debug.log')
17:37:45 [SY] debug output set to "debug.log"
R> print(err)
[1] "debug.log"
