Loading Packages

qrequire(...)

qlibrary(...)

mrequire(msg, package, lib.loc = NULL, quietly = FALSE)

Arguments

package	name of the package to load.
lib.loc	a character vector describing the location of R library trees to search through, or NULL. The default value of NULL corresponds to all libraries currently known to .libPaths(). Non-existent library trees are silently ignored.
