      flag = scanBamFlag(isUnmappedQuery = FALSE, isDuplicate = FALSE),
      verbose = TRUE)
  ## S4 method for signature 'character'
BAM2GRangesList(paths, what = character(),
      flag = scanBamFlag(isUnmappedQuery = FALSE, isDuplicate = FALSE),
      verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

path	A character vector of length 1. The path of the BAM file.
paths	A character vector of possibly any length. The paths of the BAM files.
what	What optional attributes of a read to retain. See scanBam and the value section.
