lsDS.Rdcreates a list of the names of all of the objects in a specified serverside environment
lsDS(search.filter = NULL, env.to.search)either NULL or a character string (potentially including '*' wildcards) specifying required search criteria. This argument is fully specified by its corresponding argument in the clientside function.
integer (e.g. in a format such as '2' or '5L' format) specifying the position in the search path of the environment to be explored. This argument is fully specified by its corresponding argument in the clientside function.
a list containing: (1) the name/details of the serverside R environment
which ds.ls has searched; (2) a vector of character strings giving the names of
all objects meeting the naming criteria specified by the argument <search.filter> in this
specified R serverside environment; (3) the nature of the search filter string as it was
actually applied
Serverside aggregate function lsDS called by clientside function
ds.ls. When running analyses one may want to know the objects already generated. This
request is not disclosive as it only returns the names of the objects and not their contents.
By default, objects in the current 'active analytic environment' (".GlobalEnv")
will be displayed. This
is the environment that contains all of the objects that serverside DataSHIELD
is using for the main analysis or has written out to the serverside during the process
of managing or undertaking the analysis (variables, scalars, matrices, data.frames etc).
