Note that tximeta's BiocFileCache can be set by the environmental variable TXIMETA_HUB_CACHE, which will reset the cache location.

Usage

getTximetaBFC()

setTximetaBFC(dir, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

dir	the location for tximeta's BiocFileCache. can be missing in which case the function will call file.choose for choosing location interactively
quiet	whether to suppress feedback message

Value

the directory of the BiocFileCache used by tximeta (or nothing, in the case of setTximetaBFC)

Examples

# getting the BiocFileCache used by tximeta
# (may not be set, which uses BiocFileCache default or temp directory)
getTximetaBFC()

# don't want to actually change user settings so this is not run:
# setTximetaBFC()
