build

package description, can be path or package name. See
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/as.package?package=devtools&version=1.13.6" data-mini-rdoc="devtools::as.package">as.package</a></code> for more information

path in which to produce package. If <code>NULL</code>, defaults to
the parent directory of the package.

path

Produce a binary (<code>--binary</code>) or source (
<code>--no-manual --no-resave-data</code>) version of the package.

binary

For source packages: if <code>FALSE</code>, don't build PDF
vignettes (<code>--no-build-vignettes</code>) or manual (<code>--no-manual</code>).

vignettes, manual

An optional character vector of additional command
line arguments to be passed to <code>R CMD build</code> if <code>binary = FALSE</code>,
or <code>R CMD install</code> if <code>binary = TRUE</code>.

args

if <code>TRUE</code> suppresses output from this function.

quiet

Building converts a package source directory into a single bundled file.
If <code>binary = FALSE</code> this creates a <code>tar.gz</code> package that can
be installed on any platform, provided they have a full development
environment (although packages without source code can typically be
install out of the box). If <code>binary = TRUE</code>, the package will have
a platform specific extension (e.g. <code>.zip</code> for windows), and will
only be installable on the current platform, but no development
environment is needed.
