| file.show {base} | R Documentation |
Display One or More Files
Description
This function provides the core of the R help system, but it can be used for other purposes as well.
Usage
file.show(..., header, title="R Information",
delete.file=FALSE, pager=getOption("pager"))
Arguments
... |
one or more character vectors containing the names of the files to be displayed. |
header |
vector (of the same length as the number of files
specified in |
title |
an overall title for the display. If a separate window
is used for the display, |
delete.file |
should the files be deleted after display? Used for temporary files. |
pager |
the pager to be used. |
Note
How the pager is implemented is system dependent. At present
the Unix version concatentates files and displays them in the pager
set by the pager option setting. However, a GUI model might
be to put up a file in a separate
window and let the user leave it up while R continues running.
