MulticoreFuture(
  expr = NULL,
  substitute = TRUE,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  globals = TRUE,
  lazy = FALSE,
  ...
)

`expr`	An R expression.
`substitute`	If TRUE, argument `expr` is `substitute()`:ed, otherwise not.
`envir`	The environment from where global objects should be identified.
`globals`	(optional) a logical, a character vector, or a named list to control how globals are handled. For details, see section 'Globals used by future expressions' in the help for `future()`.
`lazy`	If FALSE (default), the future is resolved eagerly (starting immediately), otherwise not.
`...`	Additional named elements passed to `Future()`.

An object of class MulticoreFuture.
