\command{physical} and \command{virtual} returns a list with named
elements
}
\description{
Compatibility functions (to package ff) for getting and setting physical and
virtual attributes.
}
\details{
ff objects have physical and virtual attributes, which have different
copying semantics: physical attributes are shared between copies of ff
objects while virtual attributes might differ between copies.
\code{\link[ff:as.ff]{as.ram}} will retain some physical and virtual atrributes in
the ram clone, such that \code{\link[ff]{as.ff}} can restore an ff object
with the same attributes.
}
\examples{
physical(bit(12))
virtual(bit(12))
}
