Find Package Associated with an Environment
Description
Many environments are associated with a package; this function attempts to determine that package.
Usage
packageName(env = parent.frame())
Arguments
env |
The environment whose name we seek. |
Details
Environment env would be associated with a package if
topenv(env) is the namespace environment for that
package. Thus when env is the environment associated with
functions inside a package, or local functions defined within them,
packageName will normally return the package name.
Not all environments are associated with a package: for example,
the global environment, or the evaluation frames of functions defined
there. packageName will return NULL in these cases.
Value
A length one character vector containing the name of the package,
or NULL if there is no name.
See Also
getPackageName is a more elaborate function
that can construct a name if none is found.
Examples
packageName()
packageName(environment(mean))
