| \details{ |
| \code{getExportedValue} returns the value of the exported variable |
| \code{name} in namespace \code{ns}. |
| |
| \code{getNamespace} returns the environment representing the name |
| space \code{name}. The namespace is loaded if necessary. |
| |
| \code{getNamespaceExports} returns a character vector of the names |
| exported by \code{ns}. |
| |
| \code{getNamespaceImports} returns a representation of the imports |
| used by namespace \code{ns}. This representation is experimental |
| and subject to change. |
| |
| \code{getNamespaceName} and \code{getNamespaceVersion} return the name |
| and version of the namespace \code{ns}. |
| |
| \code{getNamespaceUsers} returns a character vector of the names of |
