get_package_version: Query Installed Package Version

In fritools: Utilities for the Forest Research Institute of the State Baden-Wuerttemberg

Query Installed Package Version

Description

packageVersion converts to class package_version, which then again would need to be converted for compareVersion. So this is a modified copy of packageVersion skipping the conversion to package_version.

Usage

get_package_version(x, lib_loc = NULL)

Arguments

x	A character giving the package name.
lib_loc	See argument lib.loc in packageDescription.

Value

A character giving the package version.
