Hi,

If you type the name of the function at the R prompt without the parens:

  > jVaR

That will give you a representation of the source code for the function, save any compiled code (e.g. C, FORTRAN, C++) that may be part of the function call.

However, the true source code is available via the package source tarball (.tar.gz file) on CRAN:

  https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/jvnVaR/index.html

The tarball will include any comments/annotations in the code and the source for any compiled code that may be a part of the package.

Regards,
