  step: Defaults to 1. The step by which to increment (or decrease) the file numbering. Accepts decimals also.

• 'log_file_ops()': Creates a specified logging directory and logfile if required. Expects 'log4r' is attached to namespace.
  Arguments:
  dir_path: The name of the folder in which the logfile should be saved. Creates the folder if required.
  logfile_nm: Provide a name for the logfile. Do not include suffix. Defaults to "logfile".

• 'log_enable()': Assigns file appender and logger objects to global environment. Expects 'log4r' is attached to namespace.

• 'memory_report()': Performs a manual garbage collection. Print memory size. Uses 'utils::memory.size()' unless on Mac OS, where 'pryr::mem_used()' is used.

• 'seq_file_ops()': Write a series of sequentially numbered files within a specified directory. Creates the directory if required.
  Arguments:
  target_dir: Directory to create files. Creates the directory if file.exists(target_dir) evaluates to FALSE.
  n: The number of files to create. Accepts a single number or numerical vector.
