Pretty much as it says, let's save a base R factor to an on-disk representation.

# S4 method for class 'factor'
saveObject(x, path, ...)

Arguments

x

A factor.

path

String containing the path to a directory in which to save x.

...

Further arguments that are ignored.

Value

x is saved inside path. NULL is invisibly returned.
