unlibrary {lsr} | R Documentation |
Unload a package
Description
A wrapper function to detach
that removes a package
from the search path, but takes a package name as input similar to library
.
Usage
unlibrary(package)
Arguments
package |
A package name, which may be specified with or without quotes. |
Details
Unloads a package. This is just a wrapper for the detach
function. However, the package
argument is just the name of the
package (rather than the longer string that is required by the detach
function), and – like the library
function – can be specified
without quote marks. The unlibrary
function does not unload dependencies,
only the named package.
The name "unlibrary" is a bit of an abuse of both R terminology (in which
one has a library of packages) and the English language, but I think it
helps convey that the goal of the unlibrary
function is to do the
opposite of what the library
function does.
Value
Identical to detach
.
