Hello,

You can put that in the Details section, something like

\arguments{
     \item{\dots}{several arguments to pass to another function, see 
Details}
  }

and then document the arguments a and b in the Details section.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

I am asking this because "g" function is not a visible function in package, so I must describe "a" and "b" in Rd file of "f" function (I can not ask the user for reading the "g" function Rd).
