\title{ Get the list of attributes of an XML node. }
\description{
This returns a named character vector giving the
name-value pairs of attributes of an XMLNode object which is part of
an XML document.
}
\usage{
xmlAttrs(node, ...)
'xmlAttrs<-'(node, append = TRUE, suppressNamespaceWarning = getOption("suppressXMLNamespaceWarning", FALSE), value)
}
\arguments{
\item{node}{The \code{XMLNode} object
whose attributes are to be extracted. }
\item{append}{a logical value indicating whether to add the attributes in \code{value} to the existing attributes
within the XML node, or to replace the set of any existing attributes with this new set, i.e. remove the existing ones and
then set the attributes with the contents of \code{value}.}
\item{...}{additional arguments for the specific methods. For XML
internal nodes, these are \code{addNamespacePrefix} and
\code{addNamespaceURLs}. These are both logical values and indicate
whether to prepend the name of the attribute with the namespace
prefix and also whether to return the namespace prefix and URL as a
vector in the \code{namespaces} attribute.}
\item{value}{a named character vector giving the new attributes to be
added to the node.}
\item{suppressNamespaceWarning}{see \code{\link{addChildren}}}
}
\value{
A named character vector, where the names
are the attribute names and the
elements are the corresponding values.
This corresponds to the (attr<i>, "value<i>")
pairs in the XML tag
\code{<tag attr1="value1" attr2="value2"}
