[R-pkg-devel] use of getNativeSymbolInfo

[Benjamin Tyner]

Hello,

Using package nlme as an example, where there is a registered routine 
fit_gnls:

 > library(nlme)
 > getDLLRegisteredRoutines("nlme")$.C$fit_gnls
$name
[1] "fit_gnls"

$address
<pointer: 0x55f8f99a93c0>
attr(,"class")
[1] "RegisteredNativeSymbol"

$dll
DLL name: nlme
Filename: /home/btyner/R-77784/lib/R/library/nlme/libs/nlme.so
Dynamic lookup: FALSE

$numParameters
[1] 10

attr(,"class")
[1] "CRoutine"         "NativeSymbolInfo"

However when I tried this,

 > getNativeSymbolInfo(name = "fit_gnls", PACKAGE = "nlme")

it says:

Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : no such symbol fit_gnls in package nlme

so I am wondering what I'm doing wrong...

Regards,
Ben
