Description

Get names of packages that you have locally installed or that are available to be installed.

Usage

Arguments

bioc

A logical value. If TRUE the Bioconductor dependencies data will be taken from the Bioconductor repository. For this option to work properly, BiocManager package needs to be installed.

local

A logical value. If TRUE only data of locally installed packages will be used (without API usage).

A logical value. If TRUE the cache will be cleared before obtaining the list of packages.

Details

If bioc is TRUE, vector contains all packages available currently on CRAN and via Bioconductor. If local is TRUE, vactor contains all of the packages that are currently installed.
