Question

using following command, I can say that the package is loaded in current session.

(.packages()) 

When I search

data()

I can not see any data associated with. Is that mean that there is no dataset associate with it ? How can I know whether there are any functions?

function() # do not work. 

Answer 1

To list all stuff,


ls("package:MASS", all = TRUE)


all = TRUE shows hidden objects (i.e., variable name beginning with “.”)

To list all functions with formals,


lsf.str("package:MASS", all = TRUE)


To list all datasets with brief description


data(package = "MASS")$results


Just in case, to list all imports and exports of the namespace,


getNamespaceInfo("MASS", "imports")
