For\nexample, to provide a method for the S3 `pars()` method, use the\nfollowing `roxygen2` code:\n\n``` r\n#' @importFrom universals pars\n#' @export\nuniversals::pars\n```\n\n## Contribution\n\nPlease report any\n[issues](https://github.com/poissonconsulting/universals/issues).\n\n[Pull requests](https://github.com/poissonconsulting/universals/pulls)\nare always welcome.\n\n## Code of Conduct\n\nPlease note that the universals project is released with a [Contributor\nCode of\nConduct](https://contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.html).\nBy contributing to this project, you agree to abide by its terms.","jobInfo":{"package":"universals","version":"0.0.3","parsingStatus":"success","parserVersion":1,"parsedAt":"2020-09-24T10:31:45+0000"}}
