Package-level documentation
Adds a dummy .R
file that will prompt roxygen to generate basic
package-level documentation. If your package is named "foo", this will make
help available to the user via ?foo
or package?foo
. Once you call
devtools::document()
, roxygen will flesh out the .Rd
file using data from
the DESCRIPTION
. That ensures you don't need to repeat the same information
in multiple places. This .R
file is also a good place for roxygen
directives that apply to the whole package (vs. a specific function), such as
global namespace tags like @importFrom
.
