Determine if a function is an S3 generic or S3 method.

Source: R/object-s3.R

is_s3_generic compares name to .knownS3Generics and .S3PrimitiveGenerics, then looks at the function body to see if it calls UseMethod().

is_s3_method builds names of all possible generics for that function and then checks if any of them actually is a generic.

is_s3_generic(name, env = parent.frame())

is_s3_method(name, env = parent.frame())

Arguments

name

Name of function.
env

Base environment in which to look for function definition.
