How Can I Get a List of Every Command in an R Package?

I want to see a list of the available commands in an R package, ideally, outputted to the console. In RStudio, I can type the name of a package, followed by two colons (e.g. ggplot2::) and RStudio's GUI will pop up a list of available commands. Is this such a list? Even so, I can't get that to output to the console, and it doesn't work in vanilla R. Any alternatives?

This gets all the functions in particular package. Here's all the functions in tidyr:

objs <- mget(ls("package:tidyr"), inherits = TRUE)
funs <- Filter(is.function, objs)

> require(ggplot2)

Then

> ls("package:ggplot2")
  [1] "%+%"                       "aes"                      
  [3] "aes_"                      "aes_all"                  
  [5] "aes_auto"                  "aes_q"                    
  [7] "aes_string"                "alpha"                    
  [9] "annotate"                  "annotation_custom"
  [etc]

You can also use ls() with a position on the search list, eg

> ls(pos=2)

Get the search list with search().
