s_sos {RWsearch}

Search Packages and Functions on R-Project Help pages and RDocumentation

Description

s_sos searchs in all R documentation packages and functions that contain one or several keywords, open the default browser and display the results in a html page. For one or two keywords, s_sos may find more results than s_crandb as it goes deeper in the documentation, down to the function level. An internet connection is required to reach the website maintained by the R-Project. This service replaces the one maintained by the University of Pennsylvania up to 2021.

s_sos is a minimal wrapper of the function sos::findFn. Use directly the package sos and read its vignette for advanced search options.

s_man and s_Rman display the results in the query's raw format.

Usage

s_sos(..., char = NULL)

s_man(..., char = NULL)

s_Rman(..., char = NULL)

Arguments

...

any format recognized by cnsc, except list. One or several keywords.

char

(name to) a character vector. Use this argument if ... fails or if you call the function from another function. If used, argument ... is ignored.
