Subject: history of objects() and ls()
I found out today (maybe I had known sometime before??) that objects()
is a synonym for ls(). I'm curious about the history, which seems to go
at least back to the beginning of R. It's been thus since SVN revision
2 (Sep 1997) ...
svn cat https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/R/attach at 2 |
grep objects
I had a quick look at the Becker & Chambers brown book (1984) and
Becker and Wilks blue book (1988) on Google books and could find ls but
not objects() ... ?
Anyone happen to know?
cheers
