\title{
  Remove All Objects, Except Those Specified
}
\description{
  Remove all objects from the default workspace, except those specified.
}
\usage{
keep(..., list = character(0), all = FALSE, sure = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
  \item{...}{objects to be kept, specified one by one, quoted or
    unquoted.}
  \item{list}{character vector of object names to be kept.}
  \item{all}{whether hidden objects (beginning with a \code{.}) should
    be removed, unless explicitly kept.}
  \item{sure}{whether to perform the removal, otherwise return names of
    objects that would have been removed.}
}
\details{
  Convenient interface to \code{rm()} when removing most objects from
  the default workspace.

  Implemented with a few safety caps: objects whose name starts with a
  period \sQuote{\code{.}} are not removed, and \code{sure=TRUE} is
  required to perform the removal.
}
\value{
  A character vector containing object names, or \code{NULL} when
  \code{sure} is \code{TRUE}.
