\title{A class for representing files in a Bioconductor package}
\format{
An object of class \code{BiocPackage} of length 1.
}
\usage{
.BiocPackage
}
\value{
An object of class \code{BiocPackage}
}
\description{
The BiocPackage class is used to represent a Bioconductor
package. It is used by BiocCheck to store information about the package
being checked. The class has several methods to identify the type of
package, check for common issues, and store metadata about the package.
}
