pkg_deps: Look up the dependencies of a package

In r-lib/pkg: Another Approach to Package Installation

Look up the dependencies of a package

Description

Look up the dependencies of a package

Usage

pkg_deps(pkg, upgrade = TRUE, dependencies = NA)

Arguments

pkg	Package names or package references. E.g. ggplot2: package from CRAN, Bioconductor or a CRAN-like repository in general, tidyverse/ggplot2: package from GitHub, tidyverse/ggplot2@v3.4.0: package from GitHub tag or branch, ⁠https://examples.com/.../ggplot2_3.3.6.tar.gz⁠: package from URL, .: package in the current working directory. See "Package sources" for more details.
upgrade	Whether to use the most recent available package versions.
dependencies	What kinds of dependencies to install. Most commonly one of the following values: NA: only required (hard) dependencies, TRUE: required dependencies plus optional and development dependencies, FALSE: do not install any dependencies. (You might end up with a non-working package, and/or the installation might fail.) See Package dependency types for other possible values and more information about package dependencies.

Value

A data frame with the dependency data, it includes pkg as well. It has the following columns. \evalinclude_docs("pkgdepends", "docs/resolution-result.rds")
