R help - Apr 2009 - Built-in Code behind SVM

Hi R,

 

I need to see the inner code behind the function "svm" in the package
e1071. I enter svm in the console and get the below output.

 
> svm
function (x, ...) 

UseMethod("svm")

<environment: namespace:e1071>

 

Is there any way I can look into the code of what svm (support vector
machine) is doing? 

 

Thanks a lot for your help...

 

Thanks and Regards, Shubha
