Usage

packageDetails(package, brief = FALSE, show.tip = TRUE, index = NULL)

Arguments

package

Either the name of a package (capitalization does generally not matter) or the search result number shown in the results of findPackage() (the number in the GO column). Only one package is allowed here.

brief

If "TRUE", only title, short and long description as well as the maintainer of the package are shown, otherwise all available fields are displayed.

show.tip

If "TRUE", tips for getting additional information on the package are shown.

index

Either a path (or URL) to a search index, or a search index that is already loaded. If no index is provided, packageDetails() creates an ad hoc search index.

Value

 packageDetails("ggplot2")
