| Deprecated {base} | R Documentation |
These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of R only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.
.Deprecated("<new name>") is called from deprecated functions.
provide allows code to register the names of packages that it
encompasses. The argument is stored in the list .Provided.
provide returns FALSE if the package was already present
in .Provided or among the packages in search(). The main
use for provide is when multiple packages share code. This is
most likely when the code implements features present in S(-PLUS) but
not in R.
