prompt {base}

R Documentation

Produce Prototype of an R Documentation File

Description

The main goal is to facilitate the constructing of files documenting R functions.

An ASCII file filename is produced containing the proper function and argument names of object. You have to edit it before adding the documentation to the source tree, i.e., (currently) to $RHOME/src/library/base/man/.

Usage

prompt(object, ...)

prompt.default(object,
    filename = paste(name, ".Rd", sep = ""),
    force.function = FALSE)

Arguments

object	an R object, typically a function
filename	name of the output file
force.function	treat object as function in any case
