In the context of SPATA2, the term logfile refers to a record of events and actions performed during the execution of functions related to SPATA2 objects. The logfile serves as a historical log, capturing details such as the function name, timestamp of execution, and package version used.

The logfile is represented as a data.frame where each row corresponds to a log entry, and each column contains specific information about the execution event. Below is an itemized description of the variables in the logfile data.frame:

  • fn_name: The name of the function that was executed.

  • date_time: The timestamp indicating when the function was executed.

  • pkg_version: The version of the SPATA2 package used during execution.

  • args_input: A list containing the arguments provided to the function, including both explicitly specified values and default values overridden by the user.

The logfile is stored in slot @logfile of the object.
