List packages installed in a library

Source: R/manifest.R
manifest.Rd

Runs a subprocess under the given R executable and returns all user-installed packages. Base and recommended packages are excluded automatically.

Usage

manifest(
  rscript_path = NULL,
  lib_path = NULL,
  format = c("data.table", "data.frame"),
  timeout_sec = 30L
)

Arguments

rscript_path

Full path to an Rscript executable. Defaults to the current R session. Use find_routes() to get paths for other installations.

lib_path

Library path to query within the target R. Defaults to the first element of .libPaths() in that R installation.

format

"data.table" (default) or "data.frame".

timeout_sec

Maximum seconds to wait for the subprocess. Increase this on slow machines or network-mounted drives. Default 30.

Value

A data.table (or data.frame) with one row per user-installed package and columns: package, version, source ("CRAN", "GitHub", "Bioconductor", or "unknown"), remotetype, remoteusername, remoterepo, libpath. Base and recommended packages are never included in the output.
