问题
I wrote an importer for an obscure TSV format, which I want to package and document: https://github.com/katrinleinweber/MWX-import/commits/package
The importer function passes a renamed skip_lines parameter to utils::read.table so I would like to "pass" the latter's documentation of skip into my .Rd. However, trying a few notations like @inheritParams utils::read.table skip always results in Warning: Failed to find topic […].
Whether it's actually possible to inherit a single, specific parameter from another package's function is not clear to me after reading http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/man.html and https://blog.rstudio.org/2017/02/01/roxygen2-6-0-0/.
Is it possible? If yes, thanks for any hint!
回答1:
If you use @inheritParams utils::read.table, then any parameters in your function which match those in utils::read.table will be inherited (provided they aren't already explicitly documented). So this would cover your use case if you used skip instead of skip_lines.
I don't think it's possible to inherit documentation for a parameter when your parameter name doesn't match though.
