Using roxygen2 to inherit only certain parameters

Question

In roxygen2, one can use the tag @inheritParams to inherit the full set of parameters of another function. But is it also possible to inherit only a certain subset of them? (Excluding the case of inheriting ... , which is adequately handled by @inheritDotParams .)

Answer 1

In the header of functionA :

@inheritParams functionB , at least in Roxygen 6.0.0., will only inherit the parameters from functionA that also are found in functionB . Any parameters that are shared but that are defined in the functionA header will not be inherited from functionB .

So, the selection is built-in.
