Optional Readonlycallfor a single function, also render its transitive call graph as a mermaid.live link (--cg)
Optional ReadonlycallHow many nodes the rendered call graph may hold before the expansion stops (default
DefaultCallGraphMaxNodes). Cross-package expansion would otherwise run off into base R, and a
graph nobody can read is not an answer. --cg-max <n> sets it.
Optional Readonlyfunctionthe function/symbol within package to inspect (glob wildcards allowed)
Optional Readonlypackagethe package to inspect (glob wildcards allowed); omit for a summary of the loaded databases
Optional Readonlyparameterskeep only functions that have a parameter matching every one of these names (glob wildcards allowed, position-independent, e.g. fuzz, .*data)
Optional Readonlyrequiredkeep only functions with exactly this many required (no-default) parameters, excluding ...
Readonlytypeused to select the query type :)
Optional Readonlyversiona version spec: an exact version, a glob (3.*), a semver range (>=3.0.0, 3.x), or a release-date bound (<=2026, >=2021.05 in YYYY.MM.DD)
Inspects the loaded signature database(s) (see the Database wiki). The
packageandfunctionfields accept glob wildcards (*,?), andversionaccepts an exact version, a glob (3.*), a semver range (>=3.0.0,3.x), or a release-date bound (<=2026,>=2021.05, YYYY.MM.DD). With nopackageit summarizes the loaded databases; a single exact package/function yields the full view (signature, definition location, CRAN-mirror source link); a wildcard yields the matching set.parametersandrequiredParametersfurther filter to functions that have a parameter matching every given name (position-independent) or an exact required-parameter count (a parameter filter alone, e.g.--param fuzz, searches every package; repeat--paramor comma-separate to require several, e.g.--param data --param mapping).Wherever no loaded database records a name, flowR's own built-in configuration answers instead, so the query still says something with no database mounted at all. Every such answer is marked (
flowrOnlyon a function or a match, SignatureQueryResult.builtInSuggestions for a suggestion) and states no version, location, or export status, as the configuration records none of those.
