R help - Dec 2013 - method default for hclust function

I could not figure out what was the default when I ran hclust() without
specifying the method.

For example:

I just have a code like:

hclust(dist(data))

Any input would be appreciated:)

Absolute distance is the default distance in hclust. v<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
dist(v)
2 1        
3 2 1      
4 3 2 1    
5 4 3 2 1  
6 5 4 3 2 1

According to help("hclust"), the default method is complete linkage.
