[R] percentile of a given value: is there a reverse quantile function?

Dear all, I am familiar with obtaining the value corresponding to a chosen probability via the quantile function. Now I am facing the opposite problem I have a value an want to know it's corresponding percentile in the distribution. So is there a function for this as well? Thank you for your
