To see All the content (not just objects) in a package in R

Question

This is likely a newbie\'s question but I think I did my homework and yet have not found the answer (I hope to find) so I am posting it here to seek some assistance.

Answer 1

If you want to see all the system files for a particular package, then try something like

list.files(system.file(package = 'TCGAGBM'), recursive = T, full.names = T)

How useful this will be will depend on your OS, as the way packages are installed is OS dependent

see the appropriate section in R Installation and Administration manual for more details.

NOTE

@DirkEddelbuettel's suggestion of inspecting the source is a far better approach.
