Convention on tacit and verbose in R functions
I've seen arguments silent
and verbose
how there are ways to specify whether R functions should print output. For example, silent
appears in try
, while verbose appears in install.packages
. The defaults can be equivalent, i.e. function(..., silent=T)
~ function(..., verbose=F)
.
On the surface, they seem to generally serve the same function. Is there a standard convention on when to use one over the other? I am interested in writing my own functions and packages.
