                 dimensions=FALSE)
</pre>


<h3>Arguments</h3>

<table summary="R argblock">
<tr valign="top"><td><code>object</code></td>
<td>
object containing named elements, perhaps a model or
data frame.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>unit</code></td>
<td>
required unit for displaying element size: "KB", "MB",
"bytes", or first letter.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>digits</code></td>
<td>
number of decimals to display when rounding element
size.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>dimensions</code></td>
<td>
whether element dimensions should be returned.</td></tr>
</table>

<h3>Details</h3>

<p>
A verbose alternative to <code>names()</code>.
</p>


<h3>Value</h3>

<p>
A data frame with named rows and the following columns:
</p>
<table summary="R argblock">
<tr valign="top"><td><code>Class</code></td>
<td>
element class.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>KB</code></td>
<td>
element size <EM>(see notes)</EM>.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>Dim</code></td>
<td>
element dimensions <EM>(optional)</EM>.</td></tr>

<h3>Note</h3>

<p>
The name of the element size column is the same as the unit used.

<code>ClassUnionRepresentation</code>, and <code>grob</code> do not have a defined
size, so 0 bytes are assumed for those.
