## Usage

## Arguments

.x

  The attribute list passed from a `tidy_` distribution function.

## Value

A character string

## Details

This will extract the distribution type from a `tidy_` distribution function output using the attributes of that object. You must pass the attribute directly to the function. It is meant really to be used internally.

You should be passing if using manually the `$tibble_type` attribute.
