The "Value" section in the documentation of stats::uniroot() mentions component 
"init.it" of the returned result:

> "... Further components may be added in future: component \code{init.it}  was 
> added in \R 3.1.0."

I don't see "init.it"  described anywhere in that help page. It is technically 
not an omission, since the description says "at least the following 
components...", so maybe it is absent on purpose?

>From my reading of the source something like the following could be added to 
>src/library/stats/man/uniroot.Rd, before the sentence quoted above:

\code{iter} includes the number of iterations, if any, done initially to ensure 
opposite signs at the ends of the interval.
This number is available separately in component \code{init.it}. If no 
extension of the interval was attempted, \code{init.it} is set to NA.
