individual vector or a data frame. NOTE: it is not possible to set or modify
the variable labels with this function.
Arguments

A vector object, the name of a column in a data.frame
, or an
an actual data.frame

object. This should only be specified
when x
is only the name of a column in a data.frame
.
Value
If x
is a variable or vector, a named vector containing the "labels"
attribute, if one is present, is returned. If x
is a data.frame
then a
named list comprised of the "labels" attribute from each variable is returned.
