RcppAPT (version 0.0.9)

buildDepends: Return Build-Depends for given packages

Description

The APT Package Management system uses a data-rich caching structure. This accessor function returns the Build-Depends for a set of packages matching the given regular expression.

Usage

buildDepends(regexp = ".")

Arguments

regexp

A regular expression for the package name(s) with a default of all (".")

Value

A character vector containing package names is returned.

Details

Note that the package lookup uses regular expressions. If only a single package is desired, append a single $ to terminate the expression. Ie r-cran-rcpp$ will not return results for r-cran-rcpparmadillo and r-cran-rcppeigen.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
buildDepends("r-cran-rcpp$")
# }
