[Rd] R_CallMethodDef: 'type' and 'style' fields?

2009-10-08 Thread Steve Jaffe
In Writing R Extensions it is said that R_CallMethodDef has two optional fields, 'type' and 'style' (where 'style' is said to distinguish in/out/inout arguments). But it doesn't give the possible values for 'style'. Looking at the header Rdynload.h (version 2.9.2) it appears that R_CallMethodDef
