[Bioc-devel] how to build a single .Rd file

I am adding a dozen or so man pages ('.Rd' files -- there must be a better name) to 120 already written.

I check the accuracy of these files by running 'R CMD check' on the entire package.  Sometimes this takes a while to run, a while before I learn of the typo I made in the man page I last edited.

Is there some way to ask R to check only a single .Rd file?  Something like:

  cd RCytoscape/man
  R CMD check setNodeColorRule.Rd

Thanks,

 - Paul

Hi Paul --

R CMD check --help

shows a number of options to enhance this process, for instance
--no-vignettes --no-examples (similar options to R CMD INSTALL can
greatly speed up the install cycle during package development).

Within R, tools::checkRd and other functions are useful, e.g.,

  library(tools)
  checkRd("RCytoscape/man/CytoscapeConnection.Rd")
