)

Arguments

x

a character vector.

n

number of characters of the desired returned name. Default is 10.

forbidden

random_seed

a list of elements to pass to set.seed or a single value, interpreted as an integer, or NULL. Default is list(seed = 0xFC, "Mersenne-Twister", "Inversion", "Rounding"). Note that NA_integer_ or list(seed = NA_integer_) can be used to not call set.seed at all. Note also that the default is chosen because it is compatible with old R version.
