Rdoc$compile: Compile source code files containing Rdoc comments into Rd files

Description

Compile source code files containing Rdoc comments into Rd files.

Note, the class and methods to be compiled have to be loaded into R by for instance library() or source() before calling this method.

Usage

## Static method (use this):
## Rdoc$compile(filename=".*[.]R$", destPath=getManPath(this), showDeprecated=FALSE,
##   addTimestamp=FALSE, locale="C", verbose=FALSE, source=FALSE, check=TRUE,
##   debug=FALSE, ...)
## Don't use the below:
# S3 method for Rdoc
compile(this, filename=".*[.]R$", destPath=getManPath(this), showDeprecated=FALSE,
  addTimestamp=FALSE, locale="C", verbose=FALSE, source=FALSE, check=TRUE, debug=FALSE,
  ...)

Value

Returns nothing.

Arguments

filename

The pathname or filename pattern of the Rdoc files to be compiled.

destPath

The path where the generated Rd files should be saved.

showDeprecated

If TRUE, Rd files are generated for deprecated objects too, otherwise not.

addTimestamp

If TRUE, a date and time stamp is added to the Rd header comments. This timestamp might be confusing for version control systems, which is why it can be turned off with FALSE.

locale

The locale to be set/used when compiling Rdoc comments. This help assuring strings are sorted the same way across systems.

source

If TRUE, the Rdoc files will be source():ed first. This work of course only for Rdoc files that are R source files.

verbose

If TRUE, detailed compilation information is printed.

debug

If TRUE, extra debug information is printed.

...

Not used.
