help.start {base} | R Documentation |
Start the hypertext (currently HTML) version of R's online documentation.
help.start(gui = "irrelevant", browser = getOption("browser"), remote = NULL)
gui |
just for compatibility |
browser |
the name of the program to be used as hypertext browser. |
remote |
A character giving a valid URL for the `$R_HOME' directory on a remote location. |
All the packages in the current value of .lib.loc
are linked to
a directory .R
in the user's home directory.
The browser
needs to work with a "-remote openURL(..)"
call. Then, the hypertext R help interface is opened in any already
running browser or a new one if necessary.
All future help requests are sent to the browser.
As a side-effect, the variable "help.start.has.been.run"
in the
environment "package:base"
is set to true.
