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

     Writes a DCF formatted file, SYMBOLS, containing the symbols
     exported by each package in a directory containg R package source
     directories.

     write_SYMBOLS(dir, verbose = FALSE, source.dirs=FALSE)

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

     dir: The root of a CRAN-style package repository containing source
          packages.  When 'source.dirs' is 'TRUE', 'dir' should be a
          directory containing R package source directories

 verbose: Logical.  When 'TRUE', progress is printed to the standard
          output.

source.dirs: Logical.  When 'TRUE', interpret 'dir' as a directory
          containing source package directories.  When 'FALSE', the
          default, 'dir' is assumed to be the root of a CRAN-style
          package repository and the function will operate on the
          source package tarballs in 'dir/src/contrib'.

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

     Returns 'NULL'.  Called for the side-effect of creating a SYMBOLS
     file in 'dir'.
