Hi the list,
I am writing a package that happen to not be compatible with linux

this kind of information?
One way is to obtain a copy of the R sources and then grep the Rd
files for '#ifdef'.
I don't claim this is convenient.
nor sufficient - lot of it is simply in the windows directory (such as
savePlot).
The safest approach right now is simply to read the documentation -
savePlot does tell you that it works only for the Windows device. I'm
not aware of an automated list (save for dumping the function lists
per-package on each platform).
Cheers,

There has been discussion, and I believe general consensus, that
we'd like to eliminate the conditional documentation. This requires
editing the Rd files to make the contents sensible (you can't just
remove the #ifdef's). Patches along these lines would be welcome.
