R: Named element accessor for ergm control lists

control.list.accessor {statnet.common} | R Documentation

## Named element accessor for ergm control lists

### Description

Utility method that overrides the standard ‘$’ list accessor to disable partial matching for ergm `control.list` objects

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'control.list'
    object$name

### Arguments

`object` | list-coearceable object with elements to be searched
`name` | literal character name of list element to search for and return

### Details

Executes `getElement` instead of `$` so that element names must match exactly to be returned and partially matching names will not return the wrong object.

### Value

Returns the named list element exactly matching `name`, or `NULL` if no matching elements found
