extractManuals {biocViews} | R Documentation |
This function extracts Rd man pages and builds pdf reference manuals
from the man
subdirectory of R source packages archives
(.tar.gz
) found in a local package repository.
All Rd files found in man
will be extracted and used during
the pdf construction process. Only source package archives will be
processed. The constructed pdf files will be extracted under
destDir
and will be found in PKGNAME/man/*.pdf
.
Prior to extraction, all Rd and pdf files in destDir/PKGNAME/man
will be removed.
