nor in any sensible way we could document.
In R 2.0.0 (and current R-patched and R-devel):
> X11()
> library.dynam()
Filename Dynamic.Lookup
base base FALSE
stats /usr/local/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so TRUE
methods /usr/local/lib/R/library/methods/libs/methods.so TRUE
R_X11 /usr/local/lib/R/modules/R_X11.so TRUE
whereas 1.9.1 gives
> library.dynam()
[1] "stats" "methods"
and the documentation says
If 'chname' is not specified, 'library.dynam' returns a character
vector with the names of packages which have used it in the
current R session to load shared libraries. This vector is
returned as 'invisible', unless the 'chname' argument is missing.
which is clearly no longer true. I don't see why we want loaded modules
in there that have nothing to do with packages, or even non-modules.
At that point .dynLibs() gave
$base
DLL name: base
Filename: base
Dynamic lookup: FALSE
$stats
DLL name: stats
Filename: /usr/local/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so
Dynamic lookup: TRUE
[[3]]
[1] "methods"
which seems useless for
'.dynLibs' is used for getting or setting the packages that have
loaded shared libraries (using 'library.dynam').
One command later and we have
> library(MASS)
> .dynLibs()
$base
DLL name: base
Filename: base
Dynamic lookup: FALSE
$stats
DLL name: stats
Filename: /usr/local/lib/R/library/stats/libs/stats.so
Dynamic lookup: TRUE
$methods
DLL name: methods
Filename: /usr/local/lib/R/library/methods/libs/methods.so
Dynamic lookup: TRUE
$R_X11
DLL name: R_X11
Filename: /usr/local/lib/R/modules/R_X11.so
Dynamic lookup: TRUE
[[5]]
[1] "MASS"
