        conflicts(where=search(), detail=FALSE)

   AArrgguummeennttss::

      where: A subset of the search path, by default the whole
             search path.

     detail: If `TRUE', give the masked or masking functions
             for all members of the search path.

   DDeessccrriippttiioonn::

        `conflicts' reports on objects that exist with the same
        name in two or more places on the `search' path, usu-
        ally because an object in the global environment or a
        package is masking a system object of the same name.
        This helps discover unintentional masking.

   VVaalluuee::

        If `detail=FALSE', a character vector of masked
        objects.  If `detail=TRUE', a list of character vectors
        giving the masked or masking objects in that member of
        the search path.  Empty vectors are omitted.
