_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Internal functions for serialization.  See 'serialize' for public
     (but experimental) versions.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     .saveRDS(object, file = "", ascii = FALSE, version = NULL,
              compress = TRUE, refhook = NULL)

     .readRDS(file, refhook = NULL)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: R object to serialize.

    file: a connection or the name of the file where the R object is
          saved to or read from.

   ascii: a logical.  If 'TRUE', an ASCII representation is written;
          otherwise (default except for text-mode connections), a more
          compact binary one is used.

 version: the workspace format version to use.  'NULL' specifies the
          current default format.  The version used from R 0.99.0 to R
          1.3.1 was version 1.  The default format as from R 1.4.0 is
          version 2.

compress: a logical specifying whether saving to a named file is to use
          compression.  Ignored when 'file' is a connection and for
          workspace format version 1.

 refhook: a hook function for handling reference objects.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     For '.readRDS', an R object.

     For '.saveRDS', 'NULL' invisibly.
