\title{Get the future of a future variable}
\usage{
futureOf(
  var = NULL,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  mustExist = TRUE,
  default = NA,
  drop = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{var}{the variable.  If NULL, all futures in the
environment are returned.}

\item{envir}{the environment where to search from.}

\item{mustExist}{If TRUE and the variable does not exist, then
an informative error is thrown, otherwise \code{default} is returned.}

\item{default}{the default value if future was not found.}

\item{drop}{if TRUE and \code{var} is NULL, then returned list
only contains futures, otherwise also \code{default} values.}
}
\value{
A \link{Future} (or \code{default}).
If \code{var} is NULL, then a named list of Future:s is returned.
}
\description{
Get the future of a future variable that has been created directly
or indirectly via \code{\link[=future]{future()}}.
}
\examples{
a \%<-\% { 1 }

f <- futureOf(a)
print(f)

b \%<-\% { 2 }

f <- futureOf(b)
print(f)

## All futures
fs <- futureOf()
print(fs)


## Futures part of environment
env <- new.env()
env$c \%<-\% { 3 }

f <- futureOf(env$c)
print(f)

f2 <- futureOf(c, envir = env)
print(f2)

f3 <- futureOf("c", envir = env)
print(f3)

fs <- futureOf(envir = env)
print(fs)
