_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function returns the name of the Bioconductor annotation data
     package that corresponds to the specified chip or genome.  The
     'type' argument is used to request an annotation package with a
     particular backing store.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     annPkgName(name, type = c("env", "db"))

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    name: string specifying the name of the chip or genome.  For
          example, '"hgu133plus2"'

    type: Either '"db"' or '"env"'.  This will determine whether the
          package name returned corresponds to the SQLite-based
          annotation package or environment-based package,
          respectively.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a string giving the name of the annotation data package
