check_install()

[petermeissner]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that while check_install() function is mentioned in the manual of blatr (CRAN: version blatr_1.0.1) it is not accessible:

?check_install
# -> works

check_install
## Error: object 'check_install' not found

While some other functions become available when using the Github version (blatr_1.0.1) this is not true for check_install()

The idea was that install_blat and check_install should be called with ::: as they are not meant for common use. Could export it though if it makes more sense...

at least it should be mentioned somewhere, to avoid confusion...

[petermeissner]

Ah-ok, than I simply did not get it. The one than worked for me because I could copy paste the whole thing while the other I had to write myself.

I thought ::: is an R-Inferno thing ... anyways, I think that if user should use it, it should be accessible - but that's just an opinion.

[smbache]

Yeah, not sure what I like more. 99% of the time, users shouldn't use it ;-)

Maybe they could be named .check_blat_install and .install_blat instead, and then exported.

Or go for an explicit usage example in the documentation (as example usage?):

blatr:::install_blat(arch = 32) 
blatr:::check_install() 

Than it is a not really to be used functionality but still easy to use if needed.
