Workhorse GEO parsers.
parseGEO(fname, GSElimits, destdir=tempdir(), AnnotGPL=FALSE, getGPL=TRUE) parseGPL(fname) parseGDS(fname) parseGSE(fname, GSElimits) parseGSM(fname)
These are probably not useful to the end-user. Use getGEO to access these functions. parseGEO simply delegates to the appropriate specific parser. There should be no reason to use the parseGPL, parseGDS, parseGSE, or parseGSM functions directly.
parseGEO returns an object of the associated type. For example, if it is passed the text from a GDS entry, a GDS object is returned.
