how to explore contents of R data file from command line?

Dear all,

I have a directory with my research project, containing files 
.RData 
and 
inflow.RData

I am just curious, is there any way to explore contents of inflow.RData from
command line without affecting .RData and without copying inflow.RData to
another location?
I can see names and character attributes (of something in the file) in a 3rd
party raw file viewer.
