I think there is a discrepancy In the help for object.size(). In the usage section there is the comment: ## S3 method for class 'object_size':
while in the value section there is the text: An object of class ‘"object.size"’ ... And R itself says: > class(object.size(letters)) [1] "object_size" Also, I was trying to print out object sizes in Kb, but rounded to whole number of units, but I could not figure out how to do that without having to replicate the math in the print method for object.size. > tmp<-numeric(100000) > object.size(tmp) 800024 bytes > print(object.size(tmp), units="Kb") 781.3 Kb What I want is 781 Kb, but it wasn't obvious how to get there. The following seemed wrong, and didn't work: > print(signif(object.size(tmp),1), units="Kb") 781.2 Kb > print(round(object.size(tmp)), units="Kb") 781.3 Kb I know I can just get the result in bytes and divide by 1024, and then round, but it seemed like there should be a more straightforward way, so any suggestions are welcome.
