Initialise the example Genomic Database

Source: R/db-create.R
gdb.init_examples.Rd

Extracts the bundled testdb tarball under dir and points the active groot at <dir>/trackdb/test. Used by examples and tests.

Usage

gdb.init_examples(dir = NULL)

Arguments

dir

Directory under which to extract the example trackdb. Created if it does not exist. Defaults to Sys.getenv("MISHA_EXAMPLES_DIR") if set, otherwise tempdir().

Value

None.

Details

If dir is NULL (default), uses the value of environment variable MISHA_EXAMPLES_DIR, falling back to tempdir(). Set MISHA_EXAMPLES_DIR to a roomy path when /tmp is tight.
