getVignetteHeaderR Documentation

A function to read vignette header information

Description

Given a vignette filename, will read in the vignette header metadata.

Usage

getVignetteHeader(vig, field)
hasVigHeaderField(vig, field="VignetteIndexEntry")

Arguments

vig

Vignette filename

field

A specific field to extract

Details

The getVignetteHeader function will extract the metadata from a vignette file and return it as a named list, where the names of the list elements correspond to the metadata fields, and the elements themselves the values. If a specific field is desired, it can be specified with the 'field' argument.

The hasVigHeaderField function is a simple wrapper around getVignetteHeader and will most likely be removed in the very near future. It just is a boolean to report if a given header field exists or not.
