Get or set the directory of the BiocFileCache used by tximeta

Source: R/bfcLocation.R

Running getTximetaBFC will report the saved directory, if it has been determined, or will return NULL. Running setTximetaBFC will ask the user to specify a BiocFileCache directory for accessing and saving TxDb sqlite files. Note that tximeta's BiocFileCache can be set by the environmental variable TXIMETA_HUB_CACHE, which will reset the cache location.

getTximetaBFC()

setTximetaBFC(dir, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

dir

the location for tximeta's BiocFileCache. can be missing in which case the function will call file.choose for choosing location interactively

quiet

whether to suppress feedback message

Value

the directory of the BiocFileCache used by tximeta (or nothing, in the case of setTximetaBFC)
