Flatten list-like objects
Given a list-like object x, unlist produces a vector-like
object obtained by concatenating (conceptually thru c) all
the top-level elements in x (each of them being expected to be
a vector-like object, typically).
NOTE: This man page is for the unlist
S4 generic function defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::unlist for the default method
(defined in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects
not supported by the default method.
unlist(x, recursive=TRUE, use.names=TRUE)
x |
A list-like object. |
recursive, use.names |

See ?base::unlist for the value returned
by the default method.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default method.
base::unlist for the default
unlist method.
showMethods for displaying a summary of the
methods defined for a given generic function.
selectMethod for getting the definition of
a specific method.
unlist,List-method in the S4Vectors package
for an example of a specific unlist method (defined for
List objects).
