+ (description
+ "This package defines a @code{BigMatrix} @code{ReferenceClass} which adds
+safety and convenience features to the @code{filebacked.big.matrix} class from
+the @code{bigmemory} package. @code{BigMatrix} protects against segfaults by
+monitoring and gracefully restoring the connection to on-disk data and it also
+protects against accidental data modification with a filesystem-based
+permissions system. Utilities are provided for using @code{BigMatrix}-derived
+classes as @code{assayData} matrices within the @code{Biobase} package's
+@code{eSet} family of classes. @code{BigMatrix} provides some optimizations
+related to attaching to, and indexing into, file-backed matrices with
+dimnames. Additionally, the package provides a @code{BigMatrixFactor} class,
+a file-backed matrix with factor properties.")
