[R] copying R objects in C

[Tamas Papp]

You can tell what a function does by looking at its help page, eg:

?duplicate

There is no such function in R (1.9.0), so I don't see how you came
across that function name.

R performs a deep copy "on demand", and generally you should not worry
about this, just use the assignment operator "<-".

PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

and the "Introduction to R", and the FAQ.

Best,

Tamas
