Arguments

modules: A character vector of module names
modulePath: Character. The path with modules, usually modulePath() or paths$modulePath
projectPath: Character. Only used if singleDESCRIPTION = TRUE
singleDESCRIPTION: Logical. If TRUE, there be only one DESCRIPTION file written for all modules, i.e., all reqdPkgs will be trimmed for redundancies and put into the single project-level DESCRIPTION file.
package: The name inserted into the "Package" entry in DESCRIPTION
title: The string inserted into the "Title" entry in DESCRIPTION
description: The string inserted into the "Description" entry in DESCRIPTION
version: The string inserted into the "Version" entry in DESCRIPTION
authors: The string inserted into the "Authors" entry in DESCRIPTION
write: Logical. If TRUE, then it will write the DESCRIPTION file either in the modulePath (if singleDESCRIPTION = FALSE) or projectPath (if singleDESCRIPTION = TRUE)
verbose: Numeric or logical indicating how verbose should the function be. If -1 or -2, then as little verbosity as possible. If 0 or FALSE, then minimal outputs; if 1 or TRUE, more outputs; 2 even more. NOTE: in Require function, when verbose >= 2, also returns details as if returnDetails = TRUE (for backwards compatibility).
date: Date to enter into DESCRIPTION file. Defaults to Sys.Date()
metadataList: The parsed source code from a module. Must include defineModule metadata.
...: Currently not used.
