\usage{
qsavem(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{Objects to serialize. Named arguments will be passed to \code{\link[=qsave]{qsave()}} during saving. Un-named arguments will be saved. A named \code{file} argument is required.}
}
\description{
Saves (serializes) multiple objects to disk.
}
\details{
This function extends \code{\link[=qsave]{qsave()}} to replicate the functionality of \code{\link[base:save]{base::save()}} to save multiple objects. Read them back with \code{\link[=qload]{qload()}}.
