knowing functions and dataset available in a package without any manual and information (blackbox) R

function, installation, load, package, r

Solution

To list all stuff,

` ls("package:MASS", all = TRUE) `

`all = TRUE` shows hidden objects (i.e., variable name beginning with ".")

To list all functions with formals,

` lsf.str("package:MASS", all = TRUE) `

To list all datasets with brief description

` data(package = "MASS")$results `

Just in case, to list all imports and exports of the namespace,

` getNamespaceInfo("MASS", "imports") `

Problem

I have a package which is beta version, I do not have manual neither helppage have a manual. using following command, I can say that the package is loaded in current session. ``` (.packages()) ``` When I search ``` data() ``` I can not see any data associated with. Is that mean that there is no dataset associate with it ? How can I know whether there are any functions? ``` function() # do not work. ```
