Examples

## Not run: 
# Specify path to example package source and copy to tempdir()
# Note that in practice you do not need to copy to a tempdir()
# And in fact it may be easiest to use pracpac relative to your package directory root
ex_pkg_src <- system.file("hellow", package = "pracpac", mustWork = TRUE)
file.copy(from = ex_pkg_src, to = tempdir(), recursive = TRUE)

# This will succeed if this is a package
pkg_info(pkg_path = file.path(tempdir(), "hellow"))
# This will fail if this is not a package location
pkg_info(pkg_path = tempdir())

## End(Not run)
