Silence messages about masked functions

Question

I'm trying to silence messages that explain that certain functions were masked by other packages. I have tried different combinations, but none delivered what I need. The chunk I have is: ``` <>= suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(doMC)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(aroma.affymetrix)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(crlmm)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(snpStats)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(pd.genomewidesnp.6)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(GenomicRanges)) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(ggbio)) @ ``` But the output (which I hoped to be none) is (on the resulting PDF): ``` ## Loading required package: foreach ## foreach: simple, scalable parallel programming from Revolution Analytics ## Use Revolution R for scalability, fault tolerance and more. ## http://www.revolutionanalytics.com ## Loading required package: iterators ## Loading required package: parallel ## Loading require…

Accepted Answer

Setting the parameter `warn.conflicts=FALSE` in `library()` as in

```
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts=FALSE)
```

should do the trick. This is particularly useful with parallel computing when potentially hundreds or more cores are loading the library.
