yes, thats a pretty good fit (and no, I'm not asking about internal C code), thanks. So now that I have ways to extract machine-readable info about an R function, how can I map all functions in an R package without having prior knowledge about the package's content? In pseudo-code, something like (apply 'formals (pkg-functions "PKG")). If I'm lucky, there exist another simple function for that too ... thanks again for any hints. > On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 6:09 AM, Thorsten Jolitz <tjol...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi List, >> >> are there ways to get signatures of all functions of a library in a >> format that is easy to process by a programm (list, xml or so)? >> >> The info about function name, return value and arguments (types) is all >> there in the docs, but more in a human readable format embedded in much >> extra information.
