## List and Build Package Vignettes

### Description

Run `Sweave` and `texi2dvi` on all vignettes of a package.

### Usage

    buildVignettes(package, dir, lib.loc = NULL, quiet = TRUE, clean = TRUE)
    pkgVignettes(package, dir, lib.loc = NULL)

### Arguments

`package` | a character string naming an installed package. If given, Sweave files are searched in subdirectory ‘doc’.
`dir` | a character string specifying the path to a package's root source directory. This subdirectory ‘inst/doc’ is searched for Sweave files.
`lib.loc` | a character vector of directory names of R libraries, or `NULL`. The default value of `NULL` corresponds to all libraries currently known. The specified library trees are used to search for `package`.
`quiet` | logical. Run `Sweave` and `texi2dvi` in quiet mode.
`clean` | Remove all files generated by the build, even if there were copies there before.

### Value

`buildVignettes` is called for its side effect of creating the PDF versions of all vignettes.
`pkgVignettes` returns an object of class `"pkgVignettes"`.
