Hi! The Writing R Extensions document (R-exts.pdf) states that, for creating an R library, "" The `R' subdirectory contains R code files. The code files to be installed must start with a (lower or upper case) letter and have one of the extensions `.R', `.S', `.q', `.r', or `.s'. "" Does this mean that each function sould go into a separate *.R file? I understand that I can save a given function as save(test,file="R/test.R") But I have many functions, should I make that each function go to a separate file? Is there any utility for doing this?
You can use one of more files as you like. You can also just concatentate the small files into one large file via `cat'. Most packages use one file for each group of functions, as indeed do the R sources.
