make.packages.html {utils} | R Documentation |
Re-create the HTML documentation files to reflect all available packages.
make.packages.html(lib.loc = .libPaths(), temp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
lib.loc |
character vector. List of libraries to be included. |
temp |
logical: should the package indices be created in a temporary location for use by the HTTP server? |
verbose |
ogical: should messages and a heartbeat be shown? |
This creates the ‘packages.html’ file, either a temporary copy
for use by help.start
, or the copy in
‘R.home("doc")/html’ (for which you will need write permission).
It can be very slow, as all the package ‘DESCRIPTION’ files in all the library trees are read.
For temp = TRUE
there is some caching of information, so the
file will only be re-created if lib.loc
or any of the
directories it lists have been changed.
Invisible logical, with FALSE
indicating a failure to create
the file, probably due to lack of suitable permissions.
## Not run: # to prefer HTML help, put in your .Rprofile options(help_type = "html") make.packages.html(temp = FALSE) # this can be slow for large numbers of installed packages. ## End(Not run)
