Generates all permutations of the elements of x
Generates all permutations of the elements of x, in a minimal- change order. If x is a positive integer, returns all permutations of the elements of seq(x). If argument "fun" is not null, applies a function given by the argument to each point. "..." are passed unchanged to the function given by argument fun, if any.

list: each component is either a permutation, or the results of applying fun to a permutation
