Examples

res <- keggList("pathway") ## returns the list of reference pathways
length(res)
head(res) 
res <- keggList("pathway", "hsa") ## returns the list of human pathways
length(res)
head(res)
res <- keggList("organism") ## returns the list of KEGG organisms with
                     ## taxonomic classification
nrow(res)
head(res)
res <- keggList("hsa")  ## returns the entire list of human genes
length(res)
head(res)
## keggList("T01001") ## same as above
keggList(c("hsa:10458", "ece:Z5100")) ## returns the list of a human gene
                                      ## and an E.coli O157 gene
keggList(c("cpd:C01290","gl:G00092")) ## returns the list of a compound entry
                                      ## and a glycan entry
keggList(c("C01290+G00092")) ## same as above (prefixes are not necessary)
