  Description
These functions extract information from source references.
Usage
getSrcFilename(x, full.names = FALSE, unique = TRUE)
getSrcDirectory(x, unique = TRUE)
getSrcref(x)
getSrcLocation(x, which = c("line", "column", "byte", "parse"),
               first = TRUE)
  Arguments
x | 
      An object (typically a function) containing source references.  | 
     
full.names | 
      Whether to include the full path in the filename result.  | 
     
unique | 
      Whether to list only unique filenames/directories.  |

Details
Each statement of a function will have its own source reference if the "keep.source" option is TRUE. These functions retrieve all of them.
The components are as follows:
- line
 - 
    
The line number where the object starts or ends.
 - column
 - 
    
The column number where the object starts or ends.
 - byte
 - 
    
As for
"column", but counting bytes, which may differ in case of multibyte characters. - parse
 - 
    
As for
"line", but this ignores#linedirectives. 
Value
getSrcFilename and getSrcDirectory return character vectors holding the filename/directory.
getSrcref returns a list of "srcref" objects or NULL if there are none.
getSrcLocation returns an integer vector of the requested type of locations.
