manifest_script: Get the path of the standalone manifest generation script.

In pkgfilecache: Download and Manage Optional Package Data

Get the path of the standalone manifest generation script.

Description

Return the full path to the make_manifest.R script that ships with the package (installed into the package's exec subdirectory). This script is a thin wrapper around manifest_cli and can be run with Rscript to generate a manifest from the command line. On Unix-like systems you can also copy it to a directory on your PATH and make it executable with chmod +x, then run it like a normal command.

Usage

manifest_script()

Value

character string. The full path to the script, or "" if the script cannot be found (e.g., because the package is not installed correctly).
