[R] "non-sample" standard-deviation

Hi,
R seems to use the "1/n-1"-factor calculating the standard-deviation sd().

If i wat to get the "non-sample" standard-deviation i use 
sqrt(sd(x)^2*((n-1)/n))

Is there a parameter to get the sd()-function using the "1/n" factor 
directly?
Or is there any other function to do so?

Thank you in advance :-)
Best,
Eli
