### Description

### Usage

    getClass(Class, .Force = FALSE,
             where = .classEnv(Class, topenv(parent.frame()), FALSE))

### Arguments

Class | a character string naming the class.
.Force | a logical value to define the behavior if Class is an undefined class.
where | this argument is unimplemented.

### Details

If Class is a defined class, this returns the class definition for the class. If the class is undefined, the result depends on the .Force argument.

- If .Force is FALSE (the default), the function stops with an error.
- If .Force is TRUE, a virtual class definition for the undefined class is returned.
