on.exit | R Documentation |
on.exit
records the expression given as its argument as needing
to be executed when the current function exits (either naturally or as
the result of an error). This is useful for resetting graphical
parameters or performing other cleanup actions.
If no expression is provided, i.e., the call is on.exit()
, then
the current on.exit
code is removed.
on.exit(expr = NULL, add = FALSE, after = TRUE)
expr |

if TRUE, add |

The expr
argument passed to on.exit
is recorded without
evaluation. If it is not subsequently removed/replaced by another
on.exit
call in the same function, it is evaluated in the
evaluation frame of the function when it exits (including during
standard error handling). Thus any functions or variables in the
expression will be looked for in the function and its environment at
the time of exit: to capture the current value in expr
use
substitute
or similar.
If multiple on.exit
expressions are set using add = TRUE
then all expressions will be run even if one signals an error.
This is a ‘special’ primitive function: it only
evaluates the arguments add
and after
.
