splat.phyloseq.objects {phyloseq} | R Documentation

## Convert `phyloseq-class` into a named list of its non-empty components.

### Description

This is used in internal handling functions, and one of its key features is that the names in the returned-list match the slot-names, which is useful for constructing calls with language-computing functions like `do.call`. Another useful aspect is that it only returns the contents of non-empty slots. In general, this should only be used by phyloseq-package developers. Standard users should not need or use this function, and should use the accessors and other tools that leave the multi-component object in one piece.

### Usage

    splat.phyloseq.objects(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A `phyloseq-class` object. Alternatively, a component data object will work, resulting in named list of length 1.

### Value

A named list, where each element is a component object that was contained in the argument, `x`. Each element is named according to its slot-name in the phyloseq-object from which it is derived. If `x` is already a component data object, then a list of length (1) is returned, also named.
