usethis (version 1.3.0)

use_package_doc: Package-level documentation

Description

Adds a dummy .R file that will prompt roxygen to generate basic package-level documentation. If your package is named "foo", this will make help available to the user via ?foo or package?foo. Once you call devtools::document(), roxygen will flesh out the .Rd file using data from the DESCRIPTION. That ensures you don't need to repeat the same information in multiple places. This .R file is also a good place for roxygen directives that apply to the whole package (vs. a specific function), such as global namespace tags like @importFrom.
