This is a S3 method, then:
methods("na.contiguous")
getS3method("na.contiguous", "data.frame")
getS3method("na.contiguous", "zoo")

To see what methods are available, used methods():> methods(na.contiguous)[1] na.contiguous.default* Non-visible functions are asterisked To see the code in the available method, you need to access it in the relevant namespace as it is hidden from the user:> na.contiguous.defaultError: object "na.contiguous.default" not found> getAnywhere(na.contiguous.default)A single object matching ?na.contiguous.default? was found It was found in the following places registered S3 method for na.contiguous from namespace stats namespace:stats with value function (object, ...) { ...snip... ?UseMethod would have got you there.
