\usage{
Names(object, \dots)
Names(object, \dots) <- value
}
\alias{Names}
\alias{Names<-}
\arguments{
\item{object}{any object for which names can be extracted and/or assigned.}
\item{\dots}{some methods for this generic function require additional
arguments.}
\item{value}{names to be assigned to \code{object}.}
}
\description{
This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle
specific classes of objects. Classes which already have methods for
this function include: \code{formula}, \code{modelStruct},
\code{pdBlocked}, \code{pdMat}, and \code{reStruct}.
}
\value{
will depend on the method function used; see the appropriate documentation.

\section{SIDE EFFECTS}{
On the left side of an assignment, sets the names associated with
\code{object} to \code{value}, which must have an appropriate length.
}
\note{
If \code{names} were generic, there would be no need for this generic
function.
