Details

For parse_usage_text, text is a character vector representing the contents of the usage section of an Rdo object. parse_usage_text does some preprocessing of text then calls parse_1usage_text for each usage statement.

The preprocessing changes "⁠\⁠⁠dots⁠" to "⁠...⁠" and converts S3- and S4-method descriptions to a form suitable for parse(). The text is then parsed (with parse) and "⁠srcref⁠" attribute removed from the parsed object.

todo: currently no checks is made for Rd comments in text.

parse_1usage_text processes the usage statement of one object and calls pairlist2f_usage1 to convert it to an object from S3 class "f_usage".

Value

for parse_1usage_text, an object from S3 class "f_usage", see pairlist2f_usage1 for its structure.

for parse_usage_text, a list containing one element for each usage entry, as prepared by parse_1usage_text
