The filename of a SOFT format file. If the filename ends in .gz,
a gzfile() connection is used to read the file directly.
GSElimits
Used to limit the number of GSMs parsed into the GSE
object; useful for memory management for large GSEs.
destdir
The destination directory into which files will be saved (to be used for caching)
AnnotGPL
Fetch the annotation GPL if available
getGPL
Fetch the GPL associated with a GSEMatrix entity (should remain TRUE for all normal use cases)
Value
parseGEO returns an object of the associated type. For example, if it
is passed the text from a GDS entry, a GDS object is returned.
Details
These are probably not useful to the end-user. Use getGEO to access
these functions. parseGEO simply delegates to the appropriate specific parser. There
should be no reason to use the parseGPL, parseGDS, parseGSE, or
parseGSM functions directly.
