#' A collection of utility code for Mark J Cowley.
#' This description file only scratches the surface. The goal of this package is
#' to be useful, yet very lightweight with as few depedencies as possible.
#' Note none of this code is guaranteed to run on Windows, but should work on
#' OSX and linux. This is because I often use \code{system()} calls to speed
#' some things up.
#' 
#' @section data I/O utilties:
#' \code{\link{pbpaste}} and \code{\link{pbcopy}} for copying objects to and
#' from the system clipboard.
#' \code{\link{read.table.wide}} and \code{\link{read.table.fast}} for importing
#' very wide tables, and susbets of columns from very long tables, respectively.\cr
#' \code{\link{write.delim}} and \code{\link{write.delim.list}}. see also my
#' excelIO package for reading & writing Excel files.
#' \code{\link{readLine}}, \code{\link{skipLine}} for parsing text files.
#' 
#' @section file utilities:
#' \code{\link{file.gzip}}, \code{\link{zip}}, \code{\link{zipdir}}, \code{\link{file.issymlink}}, \code{\link{file.move}},
#' \code{\link{file.numlines}} \code{\link{is.dir}}, \code{\link{is.url}}, \code{\link{dir.Rdata}},
#' \code{\link{dir.remove}}, \code{\link{dir.size}}, \code{\link{crossplatform.unzip}}
#' 
#' @section data utilities:
#' \code{\link{alleq}} \code{\link{even}} \code{\link{odd}}\cr
#' \code{\link{collate}}, \code{\link{interleave.columns}}\cr
#' \code{\link{rename.column}}, \code{\link{col2rownames}}, \code{\link{row2colnames}},
#' \code{\link{colnames2row}}, \code{\link{rownames2col}} for moving columns and rows in
