# Statistics::R::Legacy(3pm)

Legacy methods for Statistics::R

## NAME

Statistics::R::Legacy - Legacy methods for Statistics::R

## DESCRIPTION

**Do not use this module directly. Use Statistics::R instead.**

This module contains legacy methods for *Statistics::R*. They are provided solely so that code that uses older versions of *Statistics::R* does not crash with recent version. Do not use these methods in new code!

Some of these legacy methods simply had their name changed, but some others were changed to do nothing and return only single value because it did not make sense to keep these methods as originally intended anymore.

## METHODS

- **startR()**

  This is the same thing as **start()**.

- **stopR()**

  This is the same thing as **stop()**.

- **restartR()**

  This is the same thing as **restart()**.

- **Rbin()**

  This is the same thing as **bin()**.

- **start\_sharedR()** / **start\_shared()**

  Use the shared option of **new()** instead.

- send / **read()** / **receive()**

  Use **run()** instead.

- **lock()**

  Does nothing anymore.

- **unlock()**

  Does nothing anymore.

- **is\_blocked()** / **is\_locked()**
