Examine the column specifications for a data frame

cols_condense() takes a spec object and condenses its definition by setting the default column type to the most frequent type and only listing columns with a different type.

spec() extracts the full column specification from a tibble created by readr.

cols_condense(x)

spec(x)

Arguments

x	The data frame object to extract from

Value

A col_spec object.
