This documentThis documentthis SO postthis SO postthis SO post 对解析 Rd 文件很有帮助。
根据这些，您可能可以尝试以下方法：
getauthors <- function(package){
db <- tools::Rd_db(package)
authors <- lapply(db,function(x) {
tags <- tools:::RdTags(x)
if("\\author" %in% tags){
# return a crazy list of results
#out <- x[which(tmp=="\\author")]
# return something a little cleaner
out <- paste(unlist(x[which(tags=="\\author")]),collapse="")
}
else
out <- NULL
invisible(out)
})
gsub("\n","",unlist(authors)) # further cleanup
}
然后我们可以在一两个包上运行它：
> getauthors("knitr")

" Ramnath Vaidyanathan"
d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/local/3.0/knitr/man/image_uri.Rd

有些函数没有作者字段，所以当它在getauthors 的末尾调用unlist 时，它只会删除那些，但可以稍微修改代码以返回NULL 的值。
此外，进一步的解析将变得有点困难，因为包作者似乎以非常不同的方式使用该字段。 devtools 中只有一个作者字段。 car 中有一堆，每个都包含一个电子邮件地址。等等等等。但这会让你得到可用的信息，你应该能够进一步使用这些信息。
注意：如果您拥有 Rd 文件的完整路径，我以前版本的此答案提供了一个解决方案，但如果您尝试对已安装的软件包执行此操作，则该解决方案不起作用。按照 Tyler 的建议，我制定了一个更完整的解决方案。
