Utilities for Building and Checking Add-on Packages

Description

Utilities for checking whether the sources of an R add-on package work correctly, and for building a source or binary package from them.

Usage

R CMD build [options] pkgdirs
R CMD check [options] pkgdirs

Arguments

pkgdirs a list of names of directories with sources of R add-on packages.
options further options to control the processing, or for obtaining information about usage and version of the utility.

Details

R CMD check checks R add-on packages from their sources, performing a wide variety of diagnostic checks.

R CMD build builds R source or binary packages from their sources. It will create index files in the sources if necessary, so it is often helpful to run build before check.

Use R CMD foo --help to obtain usage information on utility foo.
