Which functions are there to parse a NAMESPACE file (without installing the package)

Try the function parseNamespaceFile in base. Not documented but its
output should be understandable.

For the purpose of automatic documentation, I want to parse a NAMESPACE
file of the package to be documented.

I want to know the contents:
exportedClasses , exportedMethods and so on

to be able to hide the part of the documentation not exposed in the
NAMESPACE file.

Up to now I am parsing the file myself and do some regexpr stuff to get
what i want.
It would however be much nicer to use the facilities that R itself probably
provides, so that i could handle everything R can and remove the
unnecessary duplication.

(Since R hast to look at the NAMESPACE while e.g. building a package from
source those parsers should be certainly there)

I just don't know where to look for them.

Thanks in advance
Markus
