\keyword{file}{makeSrcInfo}
\begin{Description}\relax
These functions read from a text file (AnnInfo) that have been stored
in the data directory and create an environment object called AnnInfo
that will be available for later access\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
makeSrcInfo(srcFile = "")
getAllSrc()
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{srcFile}] \code{srcFile} a character string for the name of the
source file that contains source data information
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
The environment object created (AnnInfo) is a list with four elements:
\item[short] a character string for the description that will be used
to describe an annotation element in an XML file to be generated
\item[long] a character string that will be used to describe an
annotation element in the help file for a given data environment
that will be contained in a data package to be created
\item[src] a character string for the short hand name of the source
(e.g. ll for LocusLink)
\item[pbased] a boolean that is TRUE if the annotation element is for
a probe or FALSE otherwise\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
\code{\Link{getAllSrc}} return a vector of character string for short
hand names of data sources\end{Value}
\begin{Note}\relax
The functions are part of the Bioconductor project at Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute to provide Bioinformatics functionalities through R\end{Note}
