Source: R/rdata.R

The data type x would take if it was converted to an AnvlArray. Relevant for R objects and their RData trace-time analogon: for those it is the default of the active backend (see default_dtypes()), which the value has not materialized at yet.

Usage

peek_dtype(x)

Arguments

x

(arrayish | AbstractArray)
The value to ask about.

Value

(tengen::DataType)
The data type x has, or the default data type it would materialize at if it is still a bare R value.
