scan_names: Build name table for selected packages

In dracodoc/namebrowser: Search Object Name in All Installed Packages

Description

All object names in packages are scanned with ls("package:pkgname").

Usage

scan_names(package_list)

Arguments

package_list

packages to be scanned

Details

Functions, datasets, operators, symbols, alternative formats like body()<- are included from ls(). Package must be loaded and attached first before using ls(). Thus all available packages are loaded and attached in the scanning process. Although extra efforts were made to unload packages properly after use, there still will be some left over when the scan finished. It's recommended to build index in a new R session instead of working session with important data, and restart R session after building.

Value

name_table name table of scanned packages
