.libPaths gets/sets the library trees within which packages are
looked for.
.libPaths(new) .Library
new |
a character vector with the locations of R library trees. |
.Library is a character string giving the location of the
default library, the ‘library’ subdirectory of R_HOME.
.libPaths is used for getting or setting the library trees that
R knows about (and hence uses when looking for packages). If called
with argument new, the library search path is set to
the existing files in unique(c(new, .Library)) and this is
returned. If given no argument, a character vector with the currently
known library trees is returned.
The library search path is initialized at startup from the environment
variable R_LIBS (which should be a colon-separated list of
directories at which R library trees are rooted) by calling
.libPaths with the directories specified in R_LIBS.
A character vector of file paths.
