### Description

Sets the names (or colnames) of `x` to `nm`. If `nm` is a function, it is used to transform the already existing names of `x`.

### Usage

    set_col_names(x, nm, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | (`any`.) Object to set names for.
`nm` | (`character()` | `function()`) New names, or a function which transforms already existing names.
`...` | (`any`) Passed down to `nm` if `nm` is a function.

### Value

`x` with updated names.

### Examples

    x = letters[1:3]

    # name x with itself:
    x = set_names(x)
    print(x)

    # convert names to uppercase
    x = set_names(x, toupper)
    print(x)
